Early etchings and copper engraved coats of arms from the 18th century are still very collectable. How about these beauties. Ready to be mounted and framed they certainly look the part and would make a statement on that office wall. These Heraldic Achievement's from Baronageium Genealogicum by Joseph Edmondson c1764 are a favourite and when accurately hand coloured in water colour in accordance with the Heraldic codes are some of the best. The original prints from Baronageium Genealogicum were copper plate engraved on hand laid paper. This kind of paper has a very distinct appearance and is identified by the visible lines seen in the paper when held up to a bright light. You can actually feel the lines and slight roughness when you touch this kind of paper. The original prints dimensions are width 10.75" x height 18”. If you find them coloured its good to check the colouring is correct in accordance with the Heraldic Codes. Most of this information is available online.
