D'erven Stichters comptoir almanach op't Iaar onses Heeren Jesu Christi 1753

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. 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. 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 â€œcountersâ€ of merchants and businessmen rather than for gentlemenâ€™s or ladiesâ€™ 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. 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. 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 â€œOpvolgengen der Graven von Holland uit het Goudasche Kronyken.â€ Short-Title Catalogue Netherlands 328765627. heirs of the widow of C.

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

17844382Paris: 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 â€œplatesâ€ 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 bindersâ€™ 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 loveâ€™s approaches evasions and eventual conquest using an extended military metaphor. Hence captions like â€œthe diligent vigil the gracious combat marauding cupids a lucky rally the double attack the capitulationâ€ 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.

Le Calendrier de la Cour tiré des Ephémerides . Pour l’annee Mil sept cent trente-neuf. Imprimé pour la Famille Royale et Maison de Sa Majesté

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. Publisherâ€™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. 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 â€œCollombatsâ€ long after the printerâ€™s death when their publication was continued by the printer HÃ©rissant and later his widow.Â 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.Â These almanacs were used by virtually all courtiers and ladies at Court and the bindings and cover materials reflected their ownersâ€™ 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.Â Cf. Grand-Carteret Les Almanachs franÃ§ais no. 92 and p. XLI. Jacques Collombat unknown

Almanac. More Roger pseudonym. Poor Roger 1758. The American Country Almanack for the year of Christian Account 1758. . Calculated according to art and fitted to the province of New-York . By Roger More philodespot.

17573782Scarce 1758 Almanac with Great F&I War ContentThis almanac provides vivid insight into the impact of the French & Indian War on the American colonies. A fiery poetic narrative is carried through at the head of each monthly calendar page. For instance August's verse:"This Month alas! Proclaims a double WoeBoth 'Swego and Lake George our Losses know; Fort William-Henry felt the fatal strokeFrom faithless Villains. Who their promise brokeFalse to their Words our Men became their Prey;And do we yet a just Revenge delay."Following the calendar pages is a four-page "Continuation of the Historical Account of Affairs in North America…" which provides a summary of military actions from the loss of the fort at Oswego in August 1756 through "the last Day of August 1757 since which we can add no further Intelligence."Also of significance is a full page devoted to "A short discourse on Comets with some account of that which is expected to appear in the present year 1758." It references Dr. Halley's work and includes this nod to the progress of the science of astronomy: "If therefore this comet return according to this period in 1758 and there is the greatest reason to think it will astronomy will then have something new to boast of." Halley's comet as it is now known did indeed appear on Christmas night 1758.A rare almanac. RareBookHub notes only one listing: an auction in 1924 for which no price was given.
