Heraldry for Craftsmen and Designers (The Artistic Crafts series of Technical Handbooks)

426, [2]pp, tissue-guarded colour plate frontispiece and further extensively illustrated with colour plates, photographic illustrations and technical sketches and drawings etc.  Quarter bound in  grey cloth over green paper-covered boards with black lettering front and spine.  Deep green endpapers.  12mo.  Boards worn and lightly marked, a little rubbed and scuffed on edges and lightly rounded on corners and ends of a tanned spine.   Text block edges darkened and dull.  Front hinge cracked.   Previous owner's name neatly pencilled on front free endpaper.  Possibly a gift inscription, from Lord Leigh of Stoneleigh Abbey, dated 1926, on the first leaf, but it may be in the handwriting of the receipting, recording a gift from Lord Leigh.   A little toning in extreme margins. Signature binding a little fragile. The Lord Leigh referred to is presumably (from date) Francis Leigh (1855-1938), the 3rd Baron Leigh, who succeed his father to the title in 1905.
