Coat of arms 17th century British company heraldry
This image is from a copperplate engraving, and shows part of a roll of arms from Richard Blomes Britannia, an atlas published in 1673. It features the coats of arms of people who contributed towards the completion of the work a starting with King Charles II. Each page includes 35 coats of arms, presented here in pairs. These two coats of arms are from folio (page) 23 of the work. In old English, ans appeared as a longs (which looks like an f ), while ss appeared as fs. Com was an abbreviation for County. A number is assigned to each benefactor. Here are the accompanying texts (followed by modernised English where appropriate): 798. Ye Atcheivement of ye Hon ble Company of TVRKEY Merchants (The Achievement of the Honourable Company of Turkey Merchants). 799. Ye Atcheivement of ye Hon ble Company of MOSCOVIA Merchants (The Honourable Company of (old) Russian Merchants)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a piece of British heraldry from the 17th century. Taken from a copperplate engraving found in Richard Blome's Britannia atlas, published in 1673, it unveils part of a roll of arms featuring the coats of arms of individuals who contributed to the completion of this remarkable work. Starting with King Charles II, each page presents pairs of 35 coats of arms. The two coats displayed here are from folio (page) 23. In this era, old English used "fs" instead of "ss" and "ans" appeared as longs resembling an "f". Additionally, "com" was an abbreviation for County. Each benefactor was assigned a unique number which accompanied their coat. The first coat depicted is labeled as the Achievement of the Honourable Company of Turkey Merchants (Ye Atcheivement Of Ye Hon ble Company Of TVRKEY Merchants). The second one represents The Honourable Company Of (old) Russian Merchants (Ye Atcheivement Of Ye Hon ble Company Of MOSCOVIA Merchants). This antique image not only serves as a publication but also provides insight into family trees and historical connections between nations such as Turkey, Russia, and England. Its ornate design and intricate details make it an exquisite decorative piece that symbolizes friendship and tradition within British culture. Printed on high-quality paper using copperplate engraving techniques, this heraldic illustration transports us back to a time when armorial symbols held great significance among subscribers to these esteemed companies. A true testament to history's grandeur captured in one stunning image by Whiteway at Fine Art Storehouse.
