This is a heraldic visitation record of Huntingdonshire gentry compiled in 1613 by Nicholas Charles, deputy to William Camden, Clarenceux king of arms, and printed in London in 1849 by the Camden Society for antiquaries and genealogists. The plates show rows of coats of arms as outlined shields with hatching, tinctures marked by letters, and charges such as lions, fleurs-de-lis, chevrons, stars and roses, offering a designer a systematic vocabulary of medieval heraldic patterns and geometric shield layouts.
