Complete set of the original series of this historical and literary almanac for Zeelandic Flanders mainly edited by Johan Hendrik van Dale 1828-1872 schoolmaster at Sluis whose name has become immortal as the composer of the first scholarly Dutch dictionary: De grote Van Dale. Apart from some traditional elements belonging to the almanac including a preface calendar feast days birthdays of the royal family eclipses tide-tables and market days the volumes contain historical accounts of important regional figures and events descriptions of local legends and short stories and poems from local authors. The first four volumes focus exclusively on Zeelandic Flanders and the final two on all of Zeeland. The plates include views of the tower and town hall at Sluis the Church of St. Bavo at Aardenburg Castle Windenburg in Dreischoor and a portrait of Colonel Joseph Ledel.The fourth volume is of particular interest because it includes the original invoice. The volume was bought from the well-known Amsterdam bookseller Frederik Muller on May 8 1857 by the Dutch Mennonite banker and art collector Christiaan Pieter van Eeghen 1816-1889 because he was particularly interested in the first article of the work on the Mennonite minister Ghysel Hebberecht 17th century.Volume 4 with the original invoice for this volume loosely inserted and the initials of Christiaan Pieter van Eeghen in pencil on the title page a contemporary ownership annotation below the opening plate in volume 5.

Exterior decorative panel with central painted porcelain scene surrounded by wire filigree and pearls under a glass window.

The notebook with the engraved bookplate of Sir David Lionel Goldsmid-Stern-Salomons dated 1908 to the front pastedown. Calendar leaves loose with fore-edges slightly creased other trivial defects but the leaves and binding fresh and quite clean. Nécessaire lightly worn from use with very short split to one tab closure; decorative panel with faint horizontal hairline crack visible only under magnification scattered losses to the paint on the porcelain panel but the fragile object surprisingly well preserved with all its components present. This charming calendar in a period nécessaire a small case for toiletries or as here personal implements provides a window into the life of a young woman during France’s Bourbon Restoration; wonderfully preserved in a custom Riviere box it was later in an important British collection. Small calendars and almanacs were popular New Years gifts for young French women starting in the late 18th century and by the second decade of the 19th century--when this calendar was likely produced--a thriving industry had grown up around their production. Louis Janet 1788-1840 who was in business as a bookseller and binder from 1810 through 1838 made much of his business in these small almanacs and keepsake books. In our charming almanac each month has an attractive engraving of a Neoclassical scene with graceful women in flowing drapery often accompanied by flitting putti. The nécessaire is similarly decorated: the central panel depicts a young female in a flowing gown leaning over a plinth inscribed with the text: "l’amilie me suffit" "friendship is enough for me". These attractive illustrations together with the contents of the nécessaire suggest its owner was a fashionable young woman. This delightful object is from the collection of David Lionel Salomons 1851-1925 whose books were chosen with notable discrimination the goal always being to obtain copies in very fine condition. The collection was particularly strong in 18th and 19th century illustrated books and attractive bindings. It is very likely given the dates of his collection that he was the owner who commissioned the pleasing Riviere & Son box in which the nécessaire currently resides. Louis Janet unknown

1805réf. 19106Paris: Chez Janet 1805. Contemporary gold-tooled straight-grained red morocco spine decoratively gilt decorative double borders on both boards gilt edges brocade endpapers. 32mo. With 12 full-page engraved plates showing young people talking playing and courting. Exceptionally rare edition of this charming almanac for 1805 and 1806 with a calendar for one and a half year running from September 1805 to December 1806. This was done because the work followed after almanacs that used the French Republican Calendar 1793-1805 which ran from September to September instead of from January to December. Other than the calendar the almanac includes educational songs on friendship silence family and various emotions set to popular tunes and illustrated with 12 engraved plates. Together this was intended as a "School for adolescents" teaching young people about courting and various types of relationships. On the last page the eclipses of the sun and moon for 1806 are listed including those not visible in Europe. The almanac was also published for the years 1807 1808 and 1809 but all editions are very scarce today. We have only been able to find one other copy of the present 1805/1806 edition in sales records but it has not mentioned in any of the literature nor has it been recorded in institutions.With a contemporary annotation in Dutch on the first free flyleaf "Tis niet genoeg te beminen! maar best eerst wel te vezinnen!". The head of the spine has been bumped a round black stain on the back board. The work has been bound into one quire instead of two causing errors in the pagination. Otherwise in good condition.l Cf.
