File:Grant of arms.jpg.

Comment Is this the entire document, or is this just an illustration included on the document? I would think that a grant of arms would be a document that includes legal text and includes an illustration of the arms, something like: "I, the king, hereby grant to Senor Mesa and his descendants the right to bear arms described as follows (HERALDIC DESCRIPTION), which look like this (ILLUSTRATION)." The document itself would have EV; I am unsure what EV the nominiated picture has apart from depicting this particular coat of arms.

The caption "Illustration from a manuscript grant of arms..." isn't clear enough? Of the nineteen page manuscript only two pages contain illustration: the initial page and this portion illustrating the coat of arms itself.

Support It would be impractical to include all 19 pages, but this provides an attractive and encyclopedic sample, from which further discussion can spring. If more details are desirable, the original text is linked (and, being LoC, should be stable into the far future), so they are easily acquirable, and could be added to the caption on the appropriate pages.

Support. It is pretty soft at full size though.
