The subject of each illustration is explained in a 7-page "Explication des estampes".

The attractive and romantic plates in the present volume illustrate scenes from two books by Glatz: Iduna and Minona scenes from short stories by Kotzebue and scenes from Meyer's Unsere Kaufmannstöchter which was recently published at Leipzig in 1807. Extracts from these works are added as explanation to the plates. The work starts with a Jewish calendar then follows a list of works that were suitable to gift to young women at the end of the year. The present almaanc was likely also meant as a New Years gift as the engraved title says: "Geschenk zum Neuen Jahr".
