The International Encyclopedia of Monograms

With more than 11,000 beautifully hand-drawn monograms, motifs, and symbols, this wide-ranging and remarkable book will be an invaluable tool for graphic and other creative artists. Whether they’re looking to the past for traditional ideas or for inspiration to create entirely new designs, they’ll find a lot more than just letters for initials. There’s an absolute treasure trove of options, with an array of line art for cyphers, crests, coats-of-arms, emblems, badges, shields, decorations, and more. Use them as signatures on crafts, furniture, and other work; to personalize linens and towels; to create individualized stationery; or to mark luggage so it will stand out.
