EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a copperplate engraving depicting the Coat of Arms from Richard Blomes Britannia, an atlas published in 1673. The image captures part of a roll of arms featuring the coats of arms of individuals who contributed to the completion of this monumental work, beginning with King Charles II himself. Each page within this atlas displays 35 pairs of coats of arms, and these particular ones are found on folio (page) 9. The text accompanying these two coats reveals their owners: Walter CHETWYND, residing in Ingestre within Staffordshire County, and Sir William THOMSON or Thompson hailing from both London City and Wootton in Bedfordshire County. It is fascinating to note that during that era, old English script utilized longs (which resembled f's) instead of ans while ss were represented by fs. This antique print not only offers insight into British culture but also serves as an acknowledgment to those benefactors who played a significant role in bringing this magnificent atlas to life. With its ornate design and intricate details, this historical illustration transports us back to the 17th century. Its presence adds elegance and charm to any space it adorns while serving as a testament to friendship, tradition, family heritage, and England's rich cultural tapestry. A true symbol of heraldic pride captured through meticulous copperplate engraving techniques makes this print an exquisite decorative piece for enthusiasts fascinated by armorial history or anyone seeking a unique glimpse into our past.
