Wappenbüchlein is a 1555 heraldry book printed in Nuremberg by Virgil Solis, the Nuremberg engraver, and it lays out the coats of arms of the Holy Roman Empire's rulers, electors, dukes and cities for an audience of the imperial and royal court. Its pages are grids of hand-coloured engraved shields and helmets, each labelled with a title in German and Latin, so a designer can study compact systems of armorial organisation, label placement and repeated framed panels.
