Pierre de Chaignon la Rose

Pierre de Chaignon la Rose (April 23, 1871 - February 21, 1941) was an American heraldist and heraldic artist. Pierre de Chaignon la Rose was born on April 23, 1871 in New York City, New York. His father was an A. F. de Chaignon la Rose, and his mother Katharine Kappus von Pichlstein. It was rumored by some at Harvard, however, that the French surname was merely a pretense, and that his name was originally Peter Ross.
