Rare Set of 6 Engravings of Coats of Arms by Joseph Edmondson

A rare set of 6 original copperplate engravings of coats of arms completed in c.1764 by Joseph Edmondson. The  heraldry engraving is from Joseph Edmondson's work after Sir William Segar in Baronagium Genealogicum; or the Pedigrees of the English Peers, deduced from the earliest times. The work was published in London in 1764.  Edmondson was originally employed to paint coats of arms on carriages in London which led him to study Heraldry and genealogy. He eventually began publishing his work and completed Baronagium Genealogicum. The crests were originally compiled by Segar (1554-1633) and were continued to the present by Edmondson. Newly mounted and framed, the frames are painted in Farrow & Ball 'Studio Green'. c. 1764.
