Allegorien und Embleme - Martin Gerlach - 1882

Contained within this behemoth of a 10 pound book are 174 of the most gorgeous oversize plates of heraldry I have ever laid eyes on. Everything from family coat of arms styled piece to massive, intricate full page ornamental layouts, to borders and scroll-work and beyond is included here. This is an absolute must-see book for anyone interested in the more ornate and decorative side of the business.
