VVorkes of armorie : deuided into three bookes, entituled, the concordes of armorie, the armorie of honor, and of cotes and creastes,
John Bossewell's 1597 heraldic treatise, Workes of Armorie, printed in London by Henrie Ballard for readers of arms and gentry, is a reference book on coats of arms in three parts. Its pictures are woodcut shields with bold black-and-white charges, ordinaries, and tinctures shown as hatching, plus ornate printer's device, offering designers ready-made heraldic patterns, bands, and emblem frames.
