Heraldry. Digby Coat of Arms with Monkeys. Catton c1790

$125.00

Antique Print of Coat of Arms for Digby – with Monkeys, and Motto  “Deo non fortuna” (From God, not from chance).

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 published in London circa 1790. Published on 18th century hand-made paper, this small coat of arms has fine later hand-colour – which certainly adds to its appeal.

Printed, two to a page, one above the other, this is a half-page early engraving, mounted between 'antique white' conservation ragmat board, and covered with cellophane for protection until framed.

mage within window measures 115 mm x 175 mm (4.5 x 7 inches) – approximately.
