The Armorial Bearings of the Guilds of London, by John Bromley and Heather Child (Warner Books HB 1960 - subsequently reprinted) |
|
![]() |
his book has the complete heraldry of the London guilds, with beautiful
color plates of their crests and seals. The text is very well written and
interesting, including brief histories of the guilds and some details about
how and where the crafts were pursued. The illustrations of the guilds'
heraldry are beautiful and will provide plenty of material for artists who
are looking for sources. (I find the basketmakers' heraldry, with the simple
motto "Love One Another," to be quite touching). -back to the bookliste-
