Reprint of the notorious and lavishly illustrated work first published in Turin in 1846 by Cibrario, dedicated to the Orders of Chivalry, flourishing and exinguished, or even only projected, from all over the world. Ninetyfive magnificent plates, coloured by hand in the Nineteenth Century original, reproduce with precision and elegance uniforms and Chivalric decorations, medals and other signs of honour: a reference book for every heraldist, collector and art historian.
