This is an original sepia tinted steel engraving by Thomas Jack with illustrations that were used to create heraldic crests. Every symbol in a heraldic design has meaning, hence a system of visual language developed around heraldry. They have fascinating levels of detail and many depict mythical beasts. It is a genuine antique print, not a reproduction. Some age toning on the margins plus a small stain on the bottom margin. These look fantastic framed in pairs or groups.
