About this work

This is a black-and-white drawing of a fancy shield. The shield has four sections with different symbols: a lion, flowers, a crown, and a harp. Above the shield is a crown, and around it are words in a circle. The words spell out titles like "Duke of York" and "Prince of Wales." This style was used for important people back then.
