Neil Bromley's The Royal Line of Succession
The Royal Line of Succession is an outstanding fine print taken from the original artwork designed, painted, and written on finest manuscript stretched vellum, using 23 carat gold leaf, and gouache and written with Chinese ink.
Heraldic artist, Neil Bromley, spent more than ten months designing and painting the art work during the 80th year of Queen Elizabeth the Second.
This was his personal way of commemorating that historic year.
The print has been professionally photographed with intense colours that are very much true to the original work of art. The colour of the original parchment has been reproduced exactly along with all of the myriad small details throughout the work along with the raised gold detailing.
Neil Bromley has produced an exciting contemporary work with medieval influences. Burke's Peerage & Gentry are delighted to be able to offer prints of this exquisite piece of heraldic art to the public on his behalf.

About the Artist
Neil Bromley graduated with an HND in Calligraphy and Heraldry from Reigate School of Art in 1995. Whilst studying at Reigate he was awarded two bursaries from the Worshipful Company of Scriveners and the Company of Painters and Stainers. Having completed his studies he returned home to Exeter and established himself as a Heraldic Artist and Illuminator.
Bromley's work includes the painting of family crests, shields and full coats of arms, freedom scrolls, Baronial Assignations, and Grants of Arms, Heraldic work for reproduction, Calligraphic work, and the reproduction of medieval manuscript pages.
He also had a substantial hand in redrawing images for the 107th Edition of Burkes Peerage, and has since become a member of the Society of Heraldic Craftsmen. Last year he attended the 27th International Congress of Genealogical and Heraldic Sciences at St. Andrews and was given the award for best piece of artwork designed and painted whilst at the International congress.
All of Bromley's work is produced on vellum (calf skin) and he uses 23.5K gold leaf and gesso. The durable quality of these materials ensures that the documents will stand the test of time and are finished to the very best possible standards.
