HERALDIC INSTITUTE
Heraldic Institute Calendar
Feedback from the 2025 Calendar:
"It lives up to the hype and then some!"
"You have really outdone yourself here. This is a worthy successor to Hupp. Fantastic work!"
"It feels like a publication of an established and experienced organisation that has done this before."
In 2024 the Institute published its first annual calendar. The 36-page desk diary followed the tradition of Otto Hupp’s Munich Calendar and featured new artwork from our Fellows, including:
Prisca van Dessel (Belgium)

Marco Foppoli (Italy)

Björn Frieden (Sweden)

Wilhelm Horwood (England/Germany)

Carlos Navarro (Spain)
Mathilde Årnfelt Ramström (Sweden, Brim-DeForest Early Career Fellow)

George Shinas (Greece)


and included short articles by

Ralf Hartemink (Netherlands)

John Müller (Germany/England)
The Rt Hon. The Lord Lingfield was gracious enough to give us a foreword.
The illustrations featured alongside the 12 months of the year with saints days (Catholic, Anglican and Orthodox), major festivals of other world religions and UN days of commemoration. We also included some major chivalric and dynastic orders with a small representation of their decoration printed on the line of their most important day.

The Calendar was a numbered limited edition of 250. Most have been sold, but a few remain, available at 35EUR, incl P&P worldwide. Please contact us.
The format followed exactly that of Otto Hupp: 32cm (approx. 12.5inches) x 16cm (approx. 6inches). We used fine, Swedish-made Munken paper (one of the world’s most environmentally-friendly paper mills). The whole was printed & bound in Germany (entirely powered by renewable resources).
We are most grateful for the support of Brady Brim-DeForest of Balvaird Castle.
The Institute intends to publish another Calendar for 2026. Entries will be invited from the Fellowship.
