L'autore:

Alfred Znamierowski is one of the leading figures in vexillology and the worldÆs most foremost flag artist. He began publishing numerous press articles on flags in the 1960s, and since 1965 he has undertaken extensive research in Italy, France, Germany and the United States, where he lived and worked for many years. During the last 25 years, thousands of his illustrations have been published in encyclopedias, books and journals. He has also designed flags and arms for commercial firms and for individuals. In 1994 he returned to his native Poland. He is the founder of the Instytut Heraldyczno-Weksylologiczny (Institute of Heraldry and Vexillology) whose files contain thousands of specifications, laws and regulations relating to flags and arms, and form one of the largest collections in the world. He has written several books on vexillology and heraldry, and has designed arms and flags for many Polish administrative districts, cities and communes. In 2001 the International Federation of Vexillological Associations recognized him as a Fellow of the Federation.
