A display of heraldry : manifesting a more easie access to the knowledge thereof than hath been hitherto published by any, through the benefit of method
A 1679 London heraldry treatise by John Guillim, printed by S. Roycroft for R. Blome, meant for readers wanting an easier route into armory and gentry genealogy. Its pictures are small black-and-white coat-of-arms woodcuts, with shields of bars, quartering, and crests such as a phoenix, lions, and a double-headed eagle, showing how charges are placed on a field and offering a designer a dense vocabulary of heraldic shapes and layouts.
