Inventaire des sceaux de la Flandre, recueillis dans les dépôts d'archives, musées et collections particulières du département du Nord

Demay, Germain, 1819-1886 · 1873 · Paris, Imprimerie nationale · 33 pictures

A nineteenth-century catalogue of medieval seals from Flanders, compiled by Germain Demay and published in Paris by the Imprimerie nationale in 1873 for historians and archivists. The pictures are photographic plates of sealing matrix impressions in wax or clay, showing heraldic devices, mounted knights, ships and fortified town gates in crisp relief against plain grounds, with lettered legends running around each rim that a designer could adapt for emblem or monogram work.
