About this work

This is a black-and-white printed coat of arms. Two shields sit on a plain background. The top shield has a diagonal stripe with dots and a small cross. Above it, a crowned eagle holds a spear. The bottom shield shows a split design with dots, a cross, and a small bird. The words "Non Sanz Droict" appear on the top shield, and "The Arms of Shakspere" are written below. The print looks old and faded, like it was made a long time ago. If you like this style, look up Romanticism.
