The plates appear to be from 'Baronagium Genealogicum: or the Pedigrees of the English Peers,' 6 vols. including Supplement, 1764-84, by Sir William Segar and Joseph Edmondson. Joseph Edmondson (d. 1786), was a coach-painter, often employed to emblazon arms on carriages, an activity which led to the study of heraldry and genealogy. A fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, in March 1764 Edmondson was created Mowbray Herald Extraordinary.
