How to find the artist behind the monogram

If you can read all letters in the monogram

• Enter from 1 to 5 letters in the “Name” field.
• Enter any other information you have.
• Click “Search”.

If a single letter is hard to read

• Enter what you see!
• Example: If a letter maybe is an “e” or “f” but looks more like a “c” – just use “c” in the “Name” field and the search engine will do the rest.
• Enter any other information you have.
• Click “Search”.

If a single letter is impossible to read

• Use “+” to replace a single unknown letter.
• Example: If “M” is illegible in the signature “CM” – enter “C+” in the “Name” field.
• Enter any other information you have.
• Click “Search”.

If one or more consecutive letters are impossible to read

• Use “*” to replace one or several unknown letters.
• Example: If “M” is illegible in the signature “CM” and looks like one, two or more letters – enter “C*” in the “Name” field.
• Enter any other information you have.
• Click “Search”.

If the entire monogram is impossible to read

• Use “xxx” to replace monograms that look like figures, drawings or are completely illegible.
• Example: If the monogram is a bird figure – enter “xxx” in the “Name” field.
• Enter any other information you have.
• Click “Search”.
