Carl-Alexander von Volborth (1919-2009), «The Art of Heraldry», first English edition, designed by Michael S.S. Spender, 224 pages, Blandford Press (Cassell Group), ISBN.10 0-7137-1390-9, London / Poole, 1987.
This work is the English language version of the German original «Das Wappen: Kunst und Form», published in 1986. It is a study of the customs governing heraldic design, examining how those rules and their relationship with art arose over the centuries. Carl-Alexander von Volborth, a renowned heraldist and artist, shares his knowledge through hundreds of his own detailed illustrations.
The book includes a smaller theoretical section on blazonry and a larger visual part with about 600 examples in color that cover English heraldry and families from other countries.
