[Almanac] Travis, DanielBiblio.com

An Almanack of Coelestial Motions and Aspects for the Year of the Christian aera 1711.

1710réf. 3853Rare Early 18th Century Boston Almanac This almanac for 1711 by Daniel Travis is as early a Boston almanac as one is likely to find now. It follows the traditional almanac formula of the time: eclipses for the year Sign of Man cut twelve calendar pages brief astronomical observations and a final page of books for sale by the printer. Very little biographical information is available about the almanac maker. The dates of both Travis' birth 1652 and death 1720 are followed by question marks in the standard references. It is known that almanacs bearing his name were issued for the years 1707 to 1723. Boston was shown as the place of publication for the series except for the years 1709 through 1716 where it was changed to "America." An argument was made in the Brinley Catalogue that the almanacs for 1709-1716 were actually printed by William Bradford in New York rather than Bartholomew Green in Boston as the others in the series. Refuting that argument is the cut of the Sign of Man appearing in the 1709-1716 versions of the Travis almanac – it is the same as those in other Boston-issued almanacs by Green Reilly 1784 rather than those used in Bradford's New York almanacs during the period This example contains eight leaves – as called for in Drake – with the final page being "Advertisements" for Husbandry Spiritualized and The Constables Pocket-Book both for sale at Boone's shop in Corn-Hill. Other references cite an additional four pages presumably two more leaves of advertisements. A rare Boston almanac. While a number of institutions hold examples RareBookHub notes no examples of any Travis almanacs.

Les étrennes de l'amour sensitif et de la raison qui égaye.

1772réf. 195273Paris: Gueffier 1772. An apparently unrecorded publication in an elaborately embroidered binding A musical almanac absent from bibliographies and untraced in institutional holdings here intricately bound. The amorous theme of the lyrics intended for familiar melodies and game for unmarried players are echoed in the binding's motifs of love. An acrostic spelling "Louise" suggests the name of the beloved whom the title page declares was the original reader. The contents comprise songs for each month and sign of the zodiac. These are set to familiar airs apart from one "La Terre bon conseil aux rois" which does not yet have music to accompany it. A calendar for 1772 records feast days and lunar phases. Its "New Game of Oracles" includes a printed numbered chart forming the game board. Players select a number while blindfolded to reveal a song for either a bachelor or mademoiselle. A number of almanacs were published under the name Dumeny or Dumenil. Gueffier published more than 20 almanacs between 1741 and 1774 many of which had similar musical or amorous tones. Neither Saffroy nor Grand-Carteret record this publication though the latter records an almanac of the same name published by Cailleau in 1774 521. As with the present almanac no copies are traced of this later publication which may be a reprint. Quadragesimo-octavo 88 x 50 mm pp. 74. Woodcut ornamentation throughout. Contemporary binding of cream silk spine couched with vertical passing threads boards framed with fine vertical strips of metal plate enclosing wide arabesque border of passing threads couched in wave-like arrangement metallic passementerie to board fore edges front board with lovers' knot and crossed arrows top winged flaming hearts in pink and green silk rear with pansies or violets in purple pink yellow and green silk blue silk pastedowns gilt edges. Embroidery bright and neat silk mildly soiled loss to pink bud embroidery at rear occasional loss to thread at edges contents lightly uniformly toned. A beautifully preserved example. hardcover

L'Amour victorieux ou Les Conquêtes de Cypris. Almanach chantant

1784réf. 4382Paris: 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. 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. 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. The embroidered cover of the binding was applied slightly awry on the lower cover. 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. chez la V[euv]e Depoilly, et chez Jubert unknown
