EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases the public arms of four notable English towns: Torquay, Doncaster, Brighouse, and Thornaby-on-Tees. The intricate details of these heraldic devices are beautifully captured in this print, revealing a glimpse into their historical significance. Commissioned for "The Book of Public Arms, A Cyclopaedia" by Arthur Charles Fox-Davies and M E B Crookes in 1894, this engraving serves as an authoritative record of these town's official seals and marks. Each emblem represents a unique blend of history and tradition that has shaped the identity of these communities over time. Torquay's coat of arms reflects its coastal location with symbols such as waves and ships. Doncaster's design incorporates elements like horses to honor its equestrian heritage. Brighouse proudly displays its industrial roots through imagery related to coal mining and textile production. Lastly, Thornaby-on-Tees' armorial bearings pay homage to its connection with river transport and shipbuilding. As we admire this piece, we are transported back in time when these towns relied on defensive weaponry for protection. It is fascinating to witness how their rich histories have been preserved through these symbolic representations. This print captures not only the beauty but also the historical importance behind each public arm depicted here – a testament to the enduring legacy carried by these English towns throughout generations.
