ANTHONY WAGNER'S COPY WITH HIS SIGNED HOLOGRAPH INSCRIPTION ON FRONT FREE ENDPAPER. Sir Anthony Richard Wagner (1908-1995) was one of the longest-serving members of the College of Arms of the twentieth century, and one of the most prolific authors on heraldry and genealogy. He joined the College in 1931 as Portcullis Pursuivant of Arms in Ordinary (in which position he acquired and signed this copy). During the next sixty years or so he occupied most of the major offices, including Richmond Herald (1943) and Garter Principal King of Arms in 1961. In 1978 he retired to the subordinate position of Clarenceux King of Arms and concentrated on the cataloguing of his extensive professional library. Scarce. Cordeaux & Merry 7926.
