EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving titled "Public arms: Stamford; Stratford-on-Avon; Heywood; Derbyshire; Thaxted" by the English School in the 19th century. The artwork, now part of a private collection, is an illustration for Arthur Charles Fox-Davies and M E B Crookes' renowned publication, "The Book of Public Arms, A Cyclopaedia" (Jack, 1894). Intriguingly heraldic and historically significant, this engraving features the official coats of arms and devices associated with various locations. From Stamford to Stratford-on-Avon, Heywood to Derbyshire, and Thaxted—each emblem tells a unique story steeped in tradition and symbolism. These armorial bearings serve as authorized marks that represent these places throughout history. They are not merely decorative but carry deep meaning tied to their respective regions. As we admire this image's intricate details, we are transported back in time when seals were used as powerful symbols of authority. Beyond their aesthetic appeal lies a reminder of weaponry's role in shaping our past. These defensive weapons and infantry armaments depicted here highlight the importance of military might throughout history. Through this evocative photograph from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can appreciate both the artistic beauty captured within this engraving and its historical significance as it immortalizes these public arms for generations to come.
