A practical manual of heraldry and of heraldic illumination : with a glossary of the principal terms used in heraldry
A heraldry manual by Francis Joseph Baigent and Charles James Russell, published in London by George Rowney and Co. in 1864, intended as a practical guide for those learning shield design and illumination. The plates are hand-coloured and engraved, with rows of shields, each showing a different field pattern, charge or division. A designer could take from them the standard repertoire of tinctures, diapers and ordinaries used in heraldic composition.
