The Dictionary of Heraldry: Feudal Coats of Arms and Pedigrees by Joseph Foster (1994) Vintage Hardcover Book
Originally published in 1902, Foster listed in one volume, in alphabetical sequence, all those feudal noblemen and knights together with the arms recorded for them in such medieval rolls of arms as were then accessible to him. A vast number of these were illustrated but, as John Brooke-Little points out in his introduction, the original book published lacked that quintessence of heraldry—color. Now they have been colored and the result is this magnificent volume ablaze, as it should be, with the simple, bold and noble colours of heraldry.
