The next 5 of my reworking of some of the Heroical Devices of M. Claudius Pardin, Canon of Beauieu. These were active in the 16th century. I have translated the Latin myself. There is a publication of the devices printed by a William Kearney of Adling Street, London with a translation of the Latin by a ‘P.S.’, but I find his translations ubiquitous, pious and, in some cases, bilious. Someone was definitely trying to secure a place either with their local Lord or in Heaven and it shows! . #frenchemblems #16century #heroicemblems #tattoodesigns #riversofink #riversofinktattoostudio #historicaltattoo (at Rivers of Ink) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJloTQMFOKq/?igshid=133r3wlc2hpth
