Invented by the printer-publisher and typefounder Jean-Jacques Estienne Collombat 1668-1744 the Calendrier de la Cour became a familiar fixture of court life. These little books continued to be referred to as "Collombats" long after the printer's death when their publication was continued by the printer H�rissant and later his widow. This one sports a typical plaque binding commissioned by the publishers. Cf. Grand-Carteret no. 92 and p. xli. Jacques Collombat unknown‎

Even the preliminary leaves waste no space: the first and last pages blank except for the page border function as flyleaves with the Table of contents on the verso p. 2 a half-title on p. 3 the frontispiece on p. 4 showing Love presenting a medallion of Louis XVI to France according to Grand-Carteret and the title on p. 5 followed by the calendar.

Following the calendar is a "Curious Glimpse of the Theatre of the Present War" pp. 32-35 describing 14 American "provinces" as seen from French eyes ignoring most of the Colonial divisions e.g. la Nouvelle Ecosse ou l'Acadie la Nouvelle Angleterre la Floride Anglaise la Louisiane and including Jamaica and several parts of Canada described as "almost as large as Europe". Noteworthy is a perplexing description of Nouvelle Yorck "on the Hudson in the Isle de Mahanatan" and of which "Neuf-Yorck is the capital."

‎Les Etrennes à la Rose ou le Rosier d'amour‎

‎Paris: chez Janet 1801. <p>24mo binding size 95 x 63 mm. Nested quires composed from the outside in of: a  fold-out letterpress Gregorian calendar in columns with woodcut vignettes engraved title with stub 6-leaf engraved Republican calendar 24 pages engraved text interleaved with 12 engraved plates 6 bifolia and 24 pp. letterpress text a quire of 12 leaves signed A. Embroidered binding of ivory silk covers with metallic ribbon border enclosing oval cartouche of leafy branches alternating with roundels of sequin and purl enclosing on upper cover a bow arrow and quiver with flowering sprig and on lower cover a flowering plant both embroidered in variously colored threads and sequins; pink satin liners gilt edges. Losses to metallic borders and to some threads of cover designs. Bookplate of Carlo de Poortere.<br /><br />A charming almanac with 12 engravings and in an embroidered binding unknown to Grand-Carteret. This is a typical production of Pierre-Etienne Janet who in 1789 acquired the shop and bindery of his father-in-law Pierre Jubert relieur-doreur and path-breaking almanac publisher. In around 1790 Janet set up shop in the rue St. Jacques and began systematically publishing almanacs most with 12 plates. As usual for the Jubert and early Janet almanacs this little book was built up from "nested quires."  In a formula that both repeated often the fold-out letterpress traditional calendar folds around the outside; next is the engraved title with conjugate stub then a 6-leaf unsigned letterpress quire with the Republican calendar for l'An IX starting with Vendémiaire Sept. 1800 which encloses 12 bifolia i.e. 24 leaves of engraved text and illustrations in which each text bifolium alternates with an illustrated bifolium. The illustrated bifolia are printed on one side only; thus 6 plates that appear before the fold are all printed on the versos while the 6 plates following the fold are on the rectos. At the center of all is an unpaginated 12-leaf letterpress quire signed "A" containing lyrics for songs titled "Ariettes nouvelles."<br /><br />Not in Grand-Carteret.
