Collection Information

From a set of eight 19th Century heraldic engravings, originally published in London from 1808-15. This fine Georgian set includes the arms of baronets, earls and viscounts across the English, Scottish and Irish nobility, as well as funeral hatchments and heraldic shield 'ordinaries'. Some are inscribed with a plate number, and all have plate lines intact beneath the mount. The collection is handsomely presented in matching antique reeded frames, and would look rather smart on the wall hung in pairs or groups.
