Have you ever wondered who is responsible for developing legitimate coats of arms for families of distinguished ancestry or illuminating official royal announcements? Below is the link to one of only three official "Queen's Scribes" in the United Kingdom: Mr. Andrew Stewart Jamieson. Mr. Jamieson's work is as beautiful as it is detailed. He recently developed a heraldic depiction of Richard III at the Society's request. It is visually stunning. You can see it below, courtesy of the Richard III Society's webpage
here.
If you are interested in the process of heraldry and illumination, the challenges faced by a Queen's Scribe (digital copying or manipulation of his handcrafted images being the most severe), or simply want to view beautiful pictures, check out Mr. Jamieson's work!
