Audley Heraldry antique print. Coat of arms, motto Je le tiens. ('Hanging On'?)

Original copperplate engraving by draughtsman, etcher, line and aquatint engraver Francis Chesham (1749-1806) from a drawing by Charles Catton (1756-1819) for The English Peerage printed on hand-laid paper and published in London circa 1790. The fine later hand-colour certainly adds to the appeal of this wonderful image.

External measurement for frame is 240 x 305 mm (9 1/2 x 12 inches). (Approximate – pease ask for exact measaurements.)
