Heads and heraldic devices: Paper Marks
Profiles, helmets, keys and shields fill Plate IV in a loose numbered array. Small crowns and initials connect some examples to heraldic forms. Pott reproduces the paper marks for comparison in Francis Bacon and His Secret Society; the illustration itself does not name their original designers.
