About this book
Heraldry as Art concerns the development and practice of heraldry chiefly in England, with a preface stating the intention to explain the essential principles of heraldic art as simply as possible. The preface connects the treatment of heraldry with renewed recognition of its ornamental and historic importance.
The account describes enamel employed to display heraldry on royal and other monuments. The discussion of proportion considers how the space available and the character of the bearings influence the relative size of a crest or shield. The account distinguishes angels and amorini in ornamental art from figures with the technical qualification of heraldic supporters.
