Each chapter has a full length portrait of the ruler, sometimes with his wife and their coats of arms. The figures are either in armour or sumptuously dressed, often accompanied by dogs or hawks, set in scenery with battle scenes in the background, or in an archway showing harbour or country scenes behind. All plates are large and well drawn with details of dress and equipement as well as regal paraphenalia [NB large heavy volumes - extra shipping cost].
