Camelford heraldry. Catton coat of arms, antique print.

by Charles Catton/Frances Chesham

Camelford motto Per ardua, liberi (From difficulties, Freedom.)

The fine later hand-colour certainly adds to the appeal of this wonderful image of two wyverns with coat of arms between them, surmounted by a crown and battle helmet on top surmounted by a swan - with crown or helmet.
