Some Recent Scholastic Flags

As I continue to explore Pierre de Chaignon la Rose's (1872-1941) corporate heraldry and transfer a select group of those into banners of arms, I continue to be amazed at the level of detail and execution he employed at such a high level.  In the pre-digital age, seeing la Rose's exacting hand at work has been impressive.  I'm enjoying the process and learning loads of minute details that would otherwise go unnoticed.  Below are several of his designs for academic institutions that I recently completed.

To shake things up, here are two armorial flags that are not designed by la Rose.  These flags are based on the coat of arms of Kenyon College and its seminary Bexley Hall located in Ohio.  Both were designed by The Rev. Canon Orville E. Watson (1857-1951) in approximately 1908.  Click here to learn more about these armorial bearings.
