Example Sentences
In 1852 a correspondent to Notes and Queries recalled having heard many years before (as usual from somebody whose name he had forgotten) that the Cheshire Cat owed its origin to the unhappy attempts of a sign-painter of that county to represent a lion rampant, which was the crest of an influential family, on the sign-boards of many of the inns. The lion was presumably depicted heraldically subrident.
