INTERMEDIATE READING.

One of the standard, basic books on heraldry. This book has much of the text of The Art of Heraldry, but most of the continental illustrations have been deleted. A good general book on British heraldic usage. (JG) 1999 paperback edition:
Fox-Davies, A. C. The Art of Heraldry. London: Bloomsbury Books, 1986. (First published 1904, publisher unknown.)
An extensive study of heraldry both in England and on the Continent. Many good examples of medieval usage. Much of the text material and many of the plates are taken from Heraldischer Atlas by H. G. Strohl (Stuttgart, 1899) and many of the text illustrations are from Fox-Davies' Armorial Families. (JG)
