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.

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 “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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> The embroidered cover of the binding was applied slightly awry on the lower cover.<br /> <br /> OCLC lists the BnF copy only.
