The antiquities of Warwickshire illustrated : from records, leiger-books, manuscripts, charters, evidences, tombes, and armes : beautified with maps, prospects, and portraictures
Dugdale's 1656 county history of Warwickshire, written by William Dugdale and engraved by Wenceslaus Hollar, London, for antiquaries and gentry interested in local records. Its plates show engraved effigies of knights and ladies in stone tombs, kneeling mourners and figures in armour, and rows of heraldic shields with their charges; a designer could draw on the carved stone figures, the drapery and armour detail, and the shield shapes and coat-of-arms patterns.
