Preliminary photos
These are preliminary photos from a few selected pages of an antique book I believe was published in 1707. The book includes family trees of over 100 families in the late 1600's with historical information going back as far as the year 1200 or earlier. Also included are the Wappen for each family. (Wappen is the German word for coat of arms, crest, emblem, blazon, or escutcheon, employed in heraldry.)
The book is approximately 9.5" x 14.5" x 3.875".
Photo pages include links to high resolution files.
