Men's shirts, as well as women's body linen and household linens, were
generally marked with what is called "marking stitches." This is
basically little
tiny cross stitches, kind of like counted thread stitching, and consist of
the person's initials and perhaps a number, if you have more than
1. You can
probably find a graph for these, but they are easy to work out yourself.
They didn't go in for fancy monogramming--at least, I have never seen any.
Thank you Ann - I should have remembered that. Having a bit of a
ditzy morning! You are right, I can work that out by myself.
