- A concise and clear history of Lithuanian heraldry within the context of European heraldry is presented here. Topics cover the appearance and evolution of coats of arms, their composite parts, heraldic charges and meanings of their colors and symbolism.
Symbols of the Lithuanian nation state are a primary focus, but Lithuanian territories, nobility, cities and towns are also covered. Soviet heraldry is not circumvented either.
Over 600 illustrations are drawn from archives in Lithuania, Latvia, France, Russia, Sweden, Germany, and others.
- In English, 204 pages
