17392689dParis: 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

It was published from 1794-1825 and included copper engravings of widely read novels of the time as well as poems and aphorisms. 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". After the list follows the calendar and then the short stories poems and literary excerpts. Of interest to note is that almanacs in Germany often include suitable pieces in prose or poetry to use in a friend's Album Amicorum.The boards have been slightly rubbed some discolouration at the top where the boards are not covered by the slipcase.

With an engraved title page and 6 full-page engraved plates. 2 works in 1 volume. 2 24 2; 24 pp. Very beautifully produced and illustrated miniature almanac containing a calendar for 1826 and 12 short rhyming songs for children. They are set to the melodies of popular songs of the time which are mentioned at the start. The section with songs the Morale du cur was likely printed separately and could be added to a Calendrier of choice as both parts have their own title page. We have been able to trace two copies of the Morale with a Calendrier for a different year. The 1826 calendar however appears to be very rare as we have not been able to trace any other copies of it in institutions or sales records nor found any mention of it in reference works.The leaves are somewhat browned and foxed.

17524464Amsterdam: 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.

Issued in the autumn of 1920 just after the close of the Erste Internationale Dada Messe the Dada Almanach was the first attempt to give an account of the movements international activities at least in Europe. Published on the initiative of Huelsenbeck who was absent from the exhibition.it contained important articles on the theory of Dadaism.valuable statements by the Dada Club and some pages by some less well-known Dadaists such as Walter Mehring You banana-eaters and kayak people! sound and letter poems by Adon Lacroix Man Rays companion in New York not to mention a highly ironical letter by the Dutch Dadaist Paul Citroën dissuading his Dadaist partners from going to Holland. The volume was also distinguished by the French participation of Picabia Ribemont-Dessaignes and Soupault quite unexpected in Berlin; their contributions were presumably collected and sent on from Paris by Tristan Tzara. The latter living in Paris with the Picabias since early January 1920 gave in the Dada Almanach a scrupulous and electrifying account of the doings and publications of the Zürich Dadaists.one of the most dizzying documents in the history of the movement Dachy.

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.<br/> <br/> 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
