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. OCLC cites only an unidentified Danish location Danish Union Catalogue.</p> chez Janet unknown books

Almanac in German.
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

ALMANAC –
Le Calendrier de la Cour tiré des Ephémerides . Pour l’annee Mil sept cent trente-neuf. Imprimé pour la Famille Royale et Maison de Sa Majesté
Paris: Jacques Collombat 1739. 36mo binding size 108 x 55 mm. 72 pp. a single quire of 36 leaves the first and last leaves mounted on the free endpapers and printed on visible sides only. Woodcut royal arms on title 2 astronomical woodcuts typographic moon symbols in calendar. Double rule page borders. Publisher’s case binding of olive morocco covers gold-blocked with very wide rocaille border Dutch-gilt free endleaves pastedowns removed gilt edges small loss to border of lower cover inner backstrip archivally reinforced some scuffing to lower cover.<br/> <br/> <br /> <p>A nice example of one of the longest published Parisian almanacs published without interruption from 1700 to 1792 and containing useful information for ladies and gentleman of the Court. 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 Hérissant and later his widow. <br /> <br /> Printed in a very small but easily legible typeface designed by Collombat the calendar with its ephemerides uses numerous typographic astrological symbols which he only started using in 1730 when he was finally able to have small enough symbols designed and cast as he stated in his 1731 issue cf. Grand-Carteret. The remaining text contains information of interest to the Court: lists of officials and their various charges births and deaths throughout the European royal families prominent members of the clergy etc. At the end are tables of practical information: a table of proper expenses for various annual incomes from 10 to 100000 livres the age of the world or a table of wine prices by muid an ancient unit of measure used for liquids and grains. <br /> <br /> These almanacs were used by virtually all courtiers and ladies at Court and the bindings and cover materials reflected their owners’ ranks. The present pretty gold-blocked covers of fine material but relatively simple to produce and probably commissioned by the publishers would have been considered appropriate for an official or lady of relatively low standing. <br /> <br /> Cf. Grand-Carteret Les Almanachs français no. 92 and p. XLI.</p> Jacques Collombat unknown

ALMANAC — EMBROIDERED BINDING
L'Amour victorieux ou Les Conquêtes de Cypris. Almanach chantant
Paris: chez la Veuve Depoilly et chez Jubert 1784. 24mo binding size 98 x 58 mm. Etched and engraved title 24 pages a single 12-leaf quire A 16-page calendar for 1785 bound in middle of quire 12 etched and engraved “plates†printed on 6 conjugate bifolia rule page borders throughout one or two borders shaved. A fine copy in a contemporary case binding of embroidered ivory faille silk over binders’ boards both covers with a central wheat sheaf of couched purl and vermeil sequins in a pot of green threads symmetrical purl ribbons and sprays above and below the ground with small green flowers and sequin accents double outer border of sequins and intertwining metallic thread spine with saltire design of metallic thread and sequins salmon watered silk doublures with hammered vermeil ribbon borders framing a mirror on the upper cover and on the lower cover a pocket free endpapers of pink on gold brocade paper printed on one side only gilt edges. Outer corner of front cover very slightly stained and fraying a ribbon border inside lower cover detaching the mirror intact but its tin backing turned to powder and shedding slightly through the spine. <br /> <br /> A delightful almanac in a fetching embroidered binding which expresses the golden sun of the harvest abundance and joy. In pictures and verse this almanach galant relates love’s approaches evasions and eventual conquest using an extended military metaphor. Hence captions like “the diligent vigil the gracious combat marauding cupids a lucky rally the double attack the capitulation†etc. grace the hardly warlike images. The women in petticoats ribbons and flowery hats wear the latest fashions.<br /> <br /> In an unusual modern touch the image of the etched title showing a couple in a boat with a fortress and galleon in the background continues behind the title lettering. The engraved illustrations of courting and sometimes modestly contorting couples are in dark vivid impressions. In this copy unlike the Grand-Carteret copy the sixth and seventh plates were printed on the same sheet in the wrong order and thus the captions are mismatched. <br /> <br /> The embroidered cover of the binding was applied slightly awry on the lower cover.<br /> <br /> OCLC lists the BnF copy only. Cf. Savigny de Moncorps Almanachs illustrés du XVIIIe siècle 1909 no. 55 p. 104; Meunié Bibliographie de quelques almanachs illustrés des XVIIIe et XIXe siècles 1906; Grand-Carteret 1143: the same almanac with full-page illustration but bearing the title of the 1793 Goguettes Parisiennes his no. 1192.<br /> <br /> <br /> chez la V[euv]e Depoilly, et chez Jubert unknown

ALMANAC, DUTCH — DAM, Dirk Jansz van (1705-1784)
D'erven Stichters comptoir almanach op't Iaar onses Heeren Jesu Christi 1753
Amsterdam: heirs of the widow of C. Stichter 1752. 8vo 158 x 95 mm. 48 pages. Printed in red and black throughout. Woodcut arms of Amsterdam on title. 12 half-page woodcuts in calendar. Interleaved and bound with 2 blank leaves at front and 72 at back. Annotated by a contemporary owner with a couple of stray notes on interleaves and a total of 70 pages of manuscript historical notes on the blank leaves at end one blank leaf almost detached. Contemporary plain green parchment over thin pasteboards flat spine large flap extending from lower cover the parchment of the upper cover not attached to upper fore-edge leaving a slot to insert the flap lower free endleaf backed in pasteboard and with folding leather-lined pieces at top and bottom attaching it to lower cover thus forming a wallet or envelope. <br /> <br /> Part almanac part blank book this useful volume is bound in a supremely practical wallet binding of a kind that was common once and is no doubt found in large numbers in historical collections but which surfaces rarely in the book trade. The slot in the front cover to insert the folding tab from the lower cover protected the volume from Dutch weather and the lower cover contains a pocket for loose papers or even money. <br /> <br /> The Amsterdam comptoir almanacs were issued yearly by successive members of the Stichter printing family from 1728 to the mid-19th century. Unlike their French counterparts these Dutch almanacs were generously proportioned being at least originally intended for the “counters†of merchants and businessmen rather than for gentlemen’s or ladies’ pockets. The calendars were always interleaved and the contents were standard: one page is devoted to each month containing a half-page woodcut above a blank space for notes on the recto and the monthly calendar on the verso. These woodcuts each with a tiny inset astrological sign show indoor and outdoor scenes: ice-sports in December and January a family huddled by the fire with boisterous children in the background in February tree-trimming and pruning in March gardening in April a pastoral scene with lovers in May sheep-shearing in June and so on. The blocks are here quite worn. <br /> <br /> Following the calendar are postal and transportation schedules by coach or ship 3 pages of astrological predictions and a short chronicle of the year 1734 someone forgot to update the sheets. <br /> <br /> The contemporary reader who used this almanac / notebook and whose hand seems feminine to me was a student of history. The first 16 and 1/2 pages at the beginning of the blank leaves contain a list of Roman emperors. Toward the end of the blank leaves are 32 pages on the succession of the Dukes of Flanders titled “Opvolgengen der Graven von Holland uit het Goudasche Kronyken.â€<br /> <br /> Short-Title Catalogue Netherlands 328765627. heirs of the widow of C. Stichter unknown
