Monogramming Fun Fact
Monogramming dates back to the Greco-Roman era, when initials where stamped on coins to identify the city that issued them. As for you initial-obsessed shoppers who love having your personal goods monogrammed? That practice started in the Victorian era, when royals used monograms to identify their laundry and linens. Now, we mere commoners can monogram almost anything, from cards to canvases.
