Book Description
Excerpt from The Heraldic Visitations of Staffordshire Made by Sir Richard St. George, Norroy, in 1614, and by Sir William Dugdale, Norroy in the Years 1663 and 1664 Dugdale takes credit to himself for his great care and diligence in the exercise of his office when Norroy, as (he says) the books of his Visitations of the several counties under his charge, now remaining in the College of Arms, will sufficiently manifest. He claims to have taken exact notice of all collaterals, viz., uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters, in the descents by him entered; and he particularly insists upon the zeal displayed by him in faithfully registering the arms of all such as could manifest any justifiable right thereto, and also in publicly disclaiming such as took upon themselves the titles of Esquire or Gentleman without just right.

Staffordshire Figures 1780-1840 Volume 2
Author: Myrna Schkolne
Publisher: Schiffer Publishing
ISBN: 9780764345388
Category : Antiques & Collectibles
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Part of a multi-volume work that catalogs the enormous range of enamel-painted figures made predominantly in the Staffordshire Potteries between 1780 and 1840, Volume 2 presents figures portraying equestrians, fairground entertainers, personalities from literature and the stage, biblical characters, and a host of people of national and international significance. Also shown are sporting pastimes and figures reflecting a patriotic theme. It includes over 1000 brilliant color photos of figures. Literary figures range from Cleopatra and Doctor Syntax, while important persons as varied as Benjamin Franklin and Admiral Lord Nelson are captured in clay. The works also include the early pugilists, bull and bear baiting, and sportsmen and women of those days. Many of these figures have long been hidden from the public eye. Fashioned in an era before photography, they give us rare glimpses of a world that has vanished. In many cases, they are hauntingly beautiful. To hold one is to touch the past.
