No. 29--Several of the engravings in Guillim's _Display_, edition 1724, and in _The English Baronetage_, 1741, partake of this character, thus giving a range from 1610 to 1741 for this group. * * * * * No. 31 is a shield very extensively used in Germany and Holland. It first appears in the seals of the Counts of Flanders (Oliver Vredius) in 1477 and 1487, and disappears in 1602. It is figured fo. 1_b_ in the _Nuremberg Chronicle_, published 1493. It may be constantly found at all dates, and down to the present day in German heraldry. * * * * * Nos. 32, 33, and 34. No. 32--This shield has a very extensive range of date; the first I have noticed is on the tomb of Anne of Cleves, in Westminster Abbey, 1539 (engraved in Willement's _Regal Heraldry_). Engravings in an illustrated edition of Ariosto, printed Venetia, 1572, repeat the same shape. In Bolton's _Elements of Armories_, 1610, where such arms as those of Paracoussi, King of Plate, The Navatalcas, early Mexicans, and the Incas of Peru, are placed in such shields. The sixpences and York half-crowns of Charles I., 1614, and the arms on his Great Seal, 1627 (Sandford's _Genealogical History_, p. 515). In a MS., 1652, reproduced in _Miscell. Genealogica_ for January, 1885, p. 204. The Great Seal of Charles II., 1653 (Sandford's _Genealogical History_, p. 517). The seals of the Commonwealth in 1651 and 1656. Engravings in Bisse's edition of Nicholas Upton, published 1654; Also in Sandford's _Genealogical History_, 1677. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, seals with this shape are common enough, many of most beautiful execution, supported by cornucopiæ, fruit and flowers issuant therefrom; these extend from 1670 to 1700. We need only look at our Britannia's shield in a modern penny to see the same, adapted from that coin of Antoninus Pius where occurs the first representation of the figure of Britannia, A.D. 138. No. 33.--The earliest I have noted is on the seal of Sir Thomas de Bikenore, Knt., attached to a charter, _s.d._, but about 1300; this is engraved _Archæolog. Cantiana_, vol. ii, p. 41. It occurs upon the seals of the Counts of Flanders from 1403 to 1623 (Oliver Vredius); it also appears elsewhere in his work. It is also on the tomb in Maidstone Church to John Wotton, 1417 (_Arch. Cantiana_, vol. i, p. 181). It may be seen in the printer's mark of Richard Pynson, 1530. I have also noticed No. 33 in one of Camden's grants, dated 2nd May, 1608, to James Master of East Landen, Kent: this is engraved _Archæologia Cantiana_, vol. v, p. 238. No. 34 is, I think, chiefly restricted to foreign seals and engravings. I have not, so far, noticed an English example. * * * * * Nos. 35, 42, and 43.
