Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. First Tuttle Edition. "This important work, long out of print, has two important and invaluable assets,: It delves beyond the books on heraldry, giving 'original evidences derived from representations of arms which exist in rolls of arms, in windows or in carvings. Secondly, its information is not limited to England or Scotland, but is liberal in heraldic instances taken throughout Europe. There is no other publication at present in English which gives such detail on Continental heraldry.' Strikingly colourful and authentic illustrations are the life blood of this vibrant work which contains no less than 56 full-page plates, the great majority in colour, and 106 illustrations in text." - dust jacket. pp. xxxviii, 858.

George Neville, first Lord Abergavenny (1727-1785) on the front paste-down. First edition, and ORIGINAL SUBSCRIBERS COPY, of Pine's celebrated work depicting the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, were ". perhaps inspired by the success of Picart's publication in 1714 of Charles Le Brun's Meleager tapestries. The Lords set of ten huge hangings, designed by Hendrick Vroom (1563-1640) and depicting the defeat of the Spanish armada, hung in the house from 1650 until 1834, when they were destroyed by fire. Pine's prints were engraved after drawings by C. Lempriere and embellished with elegant borders incorporating emblematic figures by Hubert Gravelot, the French artist who had travelled to England in 1732 to assist on an English edition of Picart's "Cérémonies et coutumes religieuses de tous les peuples du monde" (1733-7). Pine evidently regarded the armada prints as one of the major projects of his career, since he used his influence to ensure that the Copyright Act of 1735 gave him the exclusive right to copy the tapestries, the insertion of a clause to this effect at the third reading of the bill in April 1735 indicating that the scheme took at least four years from inception to publication" (DNB).
