They also have started asking about the various insignia in all my books on heraldry. The illustrations brought to life the costumes and customs of the era.

Hart provides lucid instruction and rich examples for students to follow as they learn to draw the handsome men of medieval legend in shining armor, beautiful maidens in gorgeous gowns, funny and fierce dragons, and backgrounds of imposing castle settings.
