This large volume is still considered a standard work in German heraldic literature. The English book The Art of Heraldry: An Encyclopædia of Armory (1904) by Arthur Charles Fox-Davies incorporates its plates and much of its text translated to English.
The book is now in the public domain and free to copy; since its creator died in 1919, copyright expired in 1989.
