Family History: Johnson is a name of ancient Norman origin. It was brought to England during the Norman Conquest of 1066. Johnson is a name that comes from the given name John and the name literally means "son of John." The given name John is derived from the Hewbrew name Johanan, which means Jehovah has favored. The name was extremely popular in the Middle Ages as a result of the numerous connections between the name John and the Christian Church. The surname Johnson was first found in Lincolnshire.

Variations in spellings and usage include Johnson, Joneson, Jonson, Joynson and others. 

At first the coat of arms was a practical matter which served a function on the battlefield and in tournaments. With his helmet covering his face, and armor encasing the knight from head to foot, the only means of identification for his followers, was the insignia painted on his shield, and embroidered on his surcoat, the draped and flowing garment worn over the armor. Between the 11th and 15th centuries it became customary for surnames to be assumed in Europe, but they were not commonplace in England or Scotland before the Norman Conquest of 1066. Note: A Coat of Arms is sometimes also called a Family Shield, Code of Arms, Family Seal or Family Crest

Size: Approx. 8" x 10" perfect for framing. The crest image itself is very good size, almost 5" X 7". This is a very striking print and would look great framed.

Condition:  Not perfect, but very good with only very minor handling & surface wear - mostly which disappears behind glass when framed...this is a beautiful print with striking metallic ink
