In anticipation of the
340th anniversary of the Lyon King of Arms Act 1672 The Armorial
Register Limited, publishers of Burke’s Peerage & Gentry
International Register of Arms, is inviting the submission of
digital photographic material for the publication of a fully illustrated
prestigious book A Celebration of Scottish Heraldry, dedicated to
the many practical ways in which Scottish Armigers of today enjoy and
demonstrate their personal armorial bearings.
Whilst this book will be an armorial of sorts, it is not just an armorial;
its main purpose is to illustrate the practical usage of Scots Armory
in the 21st century. If your arms are recorded in the Public Register of
All Arms and Bearings in Scotland you are invited to submit photographs,
along with details, of any armorial item you may or have had
commissioned be it your
Letters Patent, library painting, crest badge, seal matrix, flag,
flatware, dirks, sporrans, engraved items ……… As a bare minimum we would
request that you illustrate your entry with an original grant of arms or
matriculation document (we are happy to blank out personal details such
as home addresses etc if you so wish). From our own collections we have put together a number of
sample pages illustrating our intentions and showing items which we feel would be of interest to enthusiasts throughout
the world and would also benefit your favoured heraldic artists
and craftsmen by mentioning them and acknowledging their work in the
text.
Participation in this project is FREE (although obviously there
will be a cost associated with the purchase of the actual book should
participants wish to acquire a copy in due course). If you require further information or
assistance please contact
The
Armorial Register Ltd. |
