Coat of arms 17th century Bulstrode and Gilbert
This image is from a copperplate engraving, and shows part of a roll of arms from Richard Blomes (Britannia), an atlas published in 1673. It features the coats of arms of people who contributed towards the completion of the work - starting with King Charles II. Each page includes 35 coats of arms, presented here in pairs. These two coats of arms are from folio (page) 23 of the work. In old English, ans appeared as a longs (which looks like an f ), while ss appeared as fs. Com was an abbreviation for County. A number is assigned to each benefactor. Here are the accompanying texts (followed by modernised English where appropriate): 755 Whitlock BULSTRODE of ye Inner Temple London Gent. defcended of ye Family of ye Bulftrodes in Bucks (Buckinghamshire) 756 Humfrey GILBERT Frodly in Com Stafford Gent. (Humphrey Gilbert; Frodly - location unknown) More from the same coat-of-arms series (many more via blue link)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a piece of history from the 17th century - a copperplate engraving featuring the coat of arms of individuals who contributed to Richard Blome's renowned atlas, Britannia. Published in 1673, this particular image is from folio 23 and displays two coats of arms side by side. The first coat of arms belongs to Whitlock Bulstrode, a gentleman hailing from the Inner Temple in London. He proudly traces his lineage back to the esteemed Bulstrode family in Buckinghamshire. The second coat of arms represents Humfrey Gilbert, a gentleman from an unknown location called Frodly in Staffordshire County. Intriguingly, during this period, old English writing conventions were employed where "ans" was depicted as "longs" resembling an "f" while "ss" appeared as "fs". Additionally, abbreviations such as "Com" stood for County. This antique print not only offers a glimpse into British culture and traditional customs but also serves as an acknowledgment and symbol of friendship among those who supported Blome's work. The ornate decoration and meticulous detail on display highlight the significance placed on heraldic symbolism during that era. As you explore more prints within this series via the provided blue link, immerse yourself in the rich history captured within each image. Let these engravings transport you back to a time when paper publications reigned supreme and decorative illustrations like these adorned many households across England.
