Crests remain clean and bright.

Another fascinating group of crests - thanks for sharing these again.

A friend of mine had a book with all sorts of cut-out information, signatures, quotes and so on including many Victorian military crests including several Indian Army ones but unfortunately I could not get her to part with it!

Thank you for posting your sheets with crests. They are very nice.

Crest collectors could buy sheets with crests from the publishers of the crest & monogram albums.

Do you know if these crests were copies of the actual crests or have they been designed by the publishers?

I do have a scrapbook made by someone working for a hotel in Evian (French Alps). It has many crests cut from actual letters but also crests supplied by crest book publishers.

Very artistic and a good illustration of the Victorian art of crest design, and the ability to arrange the crest together in a pleasing manner.
