Etrennes mignones curieuses et utiles . pour l'année 1785
Paris: N. Crapart & C.J.C. Durand 1785. 32mo 92 x 58 mm. Collation: 1-68 nested quires. 96 pages. Folding woodcut maps of France écclesiastique at front and Environs de Paris at back printed on one sheet enclosing text. Contemporary gold-blocked green morocco reddish-gold Brokatpapier pastedown endpapers gilt edges very minor wear to corners. Provenance: Carlos de Poortere bookplate. <br /> <br /> A very good copy of a classic Paris almanac. The Etrennes mignonnes may have been the most long-running of all Parisian almanacs and one of the most stable in format and contents. With occasional variations in the title this almanac appeared yearly from 1724 to 1848 spanning five generations and weathering several very different governments and social regimes. After 1750 the engraved title was dispensed with and the quality of printing may have declined somewhat but the contents remained consistently serious containing historical geopolitical and political information about various French regions and other countries charts of royalty and nobility lists of officials of various branches of government densely printed summaries of news from the previous year descriptions of recent scientific inventions guides to measurements tariffs lists of trade fairs and so on. <br /> <br /> This issue contains a particularly long section on Paris and its architecture monuments and sites. Not all are approved of: the Bastille for example is decried as a barbaric and unsightly horror "cette masse informe choque la vue et deshonore tout ce quartier". Shortly before the events of July 1789 an official decision would be reached to tear down the fortress - but the people got there first .<br /> <br /> Grand-Carteret 107. On the contents and economics of the Etrennes mignonnes and their imitators see V.

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.
