Excerpt from Heraldry and Floral Forms as Used in Decoration Decorators and designers of nearly every kind are certain at some time or other to come in contact with heraldic decoration or design, and though these chapters are not intended for a technical treatise, the specimens in the illustrations will no doubt lead some of my readers to dive deeper into this historically and artistically interesting subject. To a large extent the study of heraldry is like learning a language, which, in one sense, it is. It was veritably a method of picture writing which had a definite use in a time when the reading of the written word was not a subject of general education, but a comparatively rare accomplishment. The old writers on heraldry, enthusiasts in their speciality, went to great pains to prove the antiquity of the art, and no doubt instances can be brought to show that warriors of very remote times placed on their shields or banners symbols and badges by which they were known to their followers or their enemies.
