The Vault Editions Bestiary: Discover the Meaning and Symbolism of 50 Mythical Creatures

Bestiaries have been used to record and interpret the natural and imagined world for over a thousand years. In medieval Europe, they combined artistry with moral lessons, turning animals into symbols of human behaviour. The Vault Editions Bestiary continues that tradition for a new generation of creatives. This collection brings together fifty creatures drawn from mythology, legend, and medieval art. Each entry connects historical sources with contemporary artistic insight to inspire new drawing, storytelling, and design ideas.
