Royalty Free Coat Of Arms Copperplate 17Th Century Shaw And Williamson premium stock clip art

DESCRIPTION

This image is from a copperplate engraving, and shows part of a 'roll of arms' from Richard Blome's Britannia, an atlas published in 1673. It features the coats of arms of people who contributed towards the completion of the work – starting with King Charles II. Each page includes 35 coats of arms, presented here in pairs. These two coats of arms are from folio (page) 9 of the work. In old English, an 's' appeared as a 'long s' (which looks like an 'f'), while 'ss' appeared as 'fs'. 'Com' was an abbreviation for 'County'. A number is assigned to each benefactor. Here are the accompanying texts (followed by modernised English where appropriate): 257 Sr. Iohn SHAW of Eltham in Kent Kt. & Bart. (Sir John Shaw) 262 Sr. Ioseph WILLIAMSON of Milbeck hall in Cumberland Kt. Clerk of ye papers to his Maty. & one of ye Clerks of The Privy Councell &c. (Sir Joseph Williamson of Millbeck Hall, Clerk of the Privy Council) More from the same coat-of-arms series (many more via blue link): Antique engravings: British and Irish heraldry Antique engravings: All subjects
