More than one hundred and thirty new images have been added to the Traceable Heraldic Art collection over the last seven weeks.
Thanks to Ræv Kolfinnsson for contributing forty of those charges, including attractive sets of cats, dogs, foxes, and lions, each drawn in a variety of postures. Thanks also to first-time contributors Elizabeth Turner de Carlisle and Jessimond of Emerickeskepe, and to Iago ab Adam for continuing to dig up unique charges from period armorials.
Among the notable new charges this month, see the Archery Target, Ichthyocentaur, Sledge, Solleret, and Strike, as well as the Curule Chair, Domed Oven, and Thunderbolt.
In addition to the new art, I’ve also made a few updates to the general site navigation. It should be easier to find the search functionality, which leverages Google’s index and thus handles spelling errors and synonyms. I’ve also tried to make it easier to find art from a particular source or artist.
