Start with a subject or a set of historical plates.
Medieval
Dragons, castles, knights and manuscript borders from medieval and heraldic sources.
Heraldry
Crests, shields, coats of arms, badges and crowns from heraldic handbooks.
Celtic
Interlaced knotwork, spirals and carved crosses recorded from standing stones and metalwork.
Heraldry in Colour
Shields, crests and badges in their proper tinctures, which is the whole point of a heraldic plate.
Motifs and moods
Follow a more specific object, detail or feeling.
Bestiary
Dragons, griffins, sea monsters and the beasts that got drawn from description rather than life.
Heraldic
Shields, crests, supporters and crowns, with the grammar that makes a coat of arms readable.
Lions
Lions rampant and passant from the heraldry manuals, and the live animal as the zoologists drew it.
Eagles
Eagles displayed, double-headed eagles, and the bird itself.
Crowns and Coronets
Crowns and coronets, each shape a rank somebody could read at a glance.
Helmets and Armour
Tilting helms, visors and gauntlets out of the heraldry and costume plates.
Dragons and Legendary Beasts
Dragons, griffins and unicorns, drawn as carefully as the real animals on the next page.
Crosses
Carved cross slabs, crucifixes, and the many crosses heraldry gave separate names to.
Interlace and Plaitwork
Bands woven over and under each other, cut into stone by the Irish and the Russians alike.
