About this book
Inn signs and shop signs across one English county are explained by Miller Christy in a study printed at Chelmsford in 1887. He began it around 1879, when his interest in heraldry made him notice how closely sign-boards resembled crests and supporters. His preface names three earlier works: the History of Sign-boards by Larwood and Hotten, a series on Derby signs, and a pamphlet on Devon signs. Illustrations include an engraving of Chelmsford High Street in 1762, and a glossary of heraldic terms and an index of sign names close the volume.
