RE: Christmas with the Lincoln family in Springfield
The 1840 Workwoman's Guide states that Neck Handkerchiefs should be about a yard (36") wide, ladies pocket handkerchiefs are usually...(24.75" or 27") square, and handkerchiefs for gentleman are usually larger...(31.5" or 33.75"); generally men's hankies were about the size of a dinner table napkin!
