[HERALDRY.]
Album of embossed heraldic letterheads.
An intriguing collection of embossed emblems, used to create an album of elaborate designs. Several designs appear to be arranged by their source, including two pages of Cambridge colleges and others of military regiments (both of which feature heavily throughout the album), while others are likely arranged aesthetically, for example one comprising only monograms and another only escutcheons. The emblems represent an extensive range of both institutions and individuals (including many devices incorporating women’s forenames), and alongside the familiar English and Latin mottos can be found examples in Hebrew and Arabic.
