A 1754 French heraldry manual published in Lyon by Pierre Bruyset Ponthus, written by Claude-François Menestrier as a question-and-answer primer for learners of blazon. The pages are dense grids of engraved shields, each labelled with a family name and its arms, showing crosses, bends, chevrons, lions and ecclesiastical hats in black and white line work that suggests strong, legible coat-of-arms motifs for emblem or logo design.
