About This Item
24mo, pp. [viii], 4-8, 10-11, 13-14, 16-17, 19-46, 48-49, 51-52, 54-55, 57-58, 60-61, [8]; with twelve engraved plates; title-page entirely engraved; some light spotting in places but largely clean and fresh; in contemporary boards, elaborately decorated in gilt and gouache depicting a vase of flowers, preserved in the original slipcase; binding somewhat rubbed, and foot of case loose, but still a very attractive copy.
A lovely copy of this very rare almanac for the year 1783, comprising both a calendar and a collection of songs for each month, with each illustrated with a plate by the painter François-Marie-Isidor Queverdo (1748-1797), engraved by his frequent collaborator Jean Dambrun (1744-c. 1814).
Cohen/De Ricci, p. 47 (for the 1784 edition); OCLC records only one copy of this year, at Vassar College.
The texts range from drinking songs to erotic rounds, to songs extolling the delights of hunting and fishing, and finishes with a page detailing the various Almanac offerings of Boulanger, 'Doreur sur Cuir et sur Soie'.
