Heraldry for Craftsmen & Designers

"Heraldry for Craftsmen & Designers" by Sir W. H. St. John Hope is a guide from the early 1900s made for artists and designers. It teaches the rules and uses of heraldry so they can properly use those symbols in their work. The book starts by pointing out that many artists don't really get heraldry, messing up the historical and accurate context. Hope desires to bridge this gap, focusing on teaching true heraldic art, so that modern artists and craftspeople get the real meaning and history behind the art. Understanding the real background is greatly encouraged, so that modern uses don't lose their context promoting a deeper understanding in today's artwork.
