Nutzlicher Haus-Kalender oder der Richtige Bot aus das Jahr Christi 1824
Argau Switzerland: Jakob Diebold 1823. Very Good. 4to. 48 pp. Pictorial wrappers stitched as issued. Tables printed in black & red lower page corners folded some moderate edge wear a bit of foxing or staining. Well worn but generally very good with a few small tears along edges. An extremely scarce 1824 provincial Swiss Almanac well illustrated with curious woodcuts including an elaborate title-page border in the neo-classical style back cover depiction of the slaughter of the Greek patriarch a double-page fold-out plate of a castle in Baden small dirt stain at top and twelve emblematic woodcuts depicting astrological attributes of each month. Owing to the fact that only one other copy seems to have survived it is not surprising that we have been unable to locate reproductions of any of these woodcuts published elsewhere. The title-page woodcut appears to have been signed in the border the artist / engraved "Z. Morman." Several of the woodcut zodiac symbols are signed "Z."<br/><br/>Jakob Diebold a bookbinder took over the publication of this Haus-Kalender a.k.a. the Swiss "Baden Kalendar" from Heinrich Joseph Keiser sometime after 1808 during which time he ran both the bindery and the Baldinger printing press. Sales of the almanac under Diebold greatly improved largely due to the improving economic and intellectual conditions of Baden. This calendar contains a "Directory of school books children's writings and writing materials which are available from B.J. Diebold book printers and bookbinders in Baden." The almanac includes a report on the New Year i.e. 1824 a directory and covers a range of topics including chronology astronomy astrology and herbal medicine.<br/><br/>The ZB Zurich has scattered holdings of Diebold's publication namely: 1811-1812; 1819-1821; 1824 the present year 1825-1826; 1831; 1837; 1846. The Landesmuseum has three unrelated issues 1817-1819. Jakob Diebold unknown books

Patent Medicine Almanac
RESCUE OF TULA 1861 ALMANAC
New York: B.L. Judson & Co. 1860. 24pp. Original yellow printed wrappers. Spine mostly perished. Some chipping and tears to wrappers. Very minor soiling. Good. A rare patent-medicine almanac reprinting the story of an herbalist's rescue of Tula the Aztec princess likely fabricated to promote the sale of Judson's various medicaments. Originally printed in 1859 by the same publisher the almanac recounts the story of the "wealthy herbalist Dr. Cunard who with a trapper named Du Bois or Hawk Eye spent seven years trapping and travelling throughout the Far West. The doctor had a number of unusual experiences not the least of which was his single-handed defiance of the Navajo Tribe as they were about to burn Tula the Aztec princess at the stake. This was accomplished by capitalizing on the fortuitous imminence of a total eclipse of which the good doctor knew after consulting his handy little almanac. The Navajo chief was as confounded as Merlin in an earlier day and promptly gave up not only Tula but also his secret mountain-herb recipe. A trapper's testimonial direct from St. Louis concludes this 'True Account'" - Eberstadt. The almanac seems to have been published for only about four years 1860- 63 although the advertisement/story does appear in a few other almanacs as well. OCLC locates only one copy of the 1861 almanac and only one of most of the others as well at the Rochester Museum and Science Center. Rare and interesting. EBERSTADT 127:215 ref. B.L.

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.
