A captivating collection of crests and their connections: Ethel Le Neve's portrait evokes the elegance of Chappel Cresent, while the Bust of Diana, created around 1910, embodies the timeless allure of the crescent moon. Delve into the pages of Fairbairn's Book of Crests, an engraving of which adorns this post, and discover the rich history behind these symbols. The visit of Kaiser Wilhelm II to Turkey in 1898 brought the crescent to global prominence, but it holds significance far beyond political borders. The Illustrated London News etching from 1854 showcases Buxton's New Cresent and New Baths, while a tranquil cow grazes on water hyacinth in Crescent Island Lake Naivasha, Kenya. Turkish firemen in Constantinople proudly display their crescent emblem, and Wilton Crescent, London, stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of this iconic shape.
