About This Item
London: Marcus Ward & Co., 1877. First Edition. Small calendar booklet with a delicately sewn binding. (The thread appears to be recent). Comprises four colour and gilt full-page illustrations, depicting the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Many of these calendars were attributed to the illustrator Kate Greenaway, but we are not sure these illustrations are hers. Nonetheless, they are beautiful! On verso of each is information for that coming year. Includes the moon's phases, legal holidays, church days, eclipses, and information about foreign and domestic postage rates. Bottom left of each illustration is the publisher's name: Marcus Ward & Co. Bottom right of each it reads: Ent. Sta. Hall - abbreviated version of Entered at Stationers' Hall. Booklet is in fine condition. 100 x 70 mm (4 x 2¾ inches). . Petit livret-calendrier à la reliure délicatement cousue. Comprend quatre illustrations pleine page en couleurs et dorées, représentant les quatre saisons : Printemps, Été, Automne et Hiver. Beaucoup de ces calendriers ont été attribués à l'illustratrice Kate Greenaway, mais nous ne sommes pas sûrs que ces illustrations soient les siennes. Quoi qu'il en soit, elles sont magnifiques ! Au verso de chaque calendrier figurent des informations sur l'année à venir. Elles comprennent les phases de la lune, les jours fériés, les jours d'église, les éclipses et des informations sur les tarifs postaux étrangers et nationaux. En bas à gauche de chaque illustration figure le nom de l'éditeur : Marcus Ward & Co. En bas à droite de chaque illustration, on peut lire : Ent. Sta. Hall - version abrégée de Entered at Stationers' Hall. Le livret est en bon état. 100 x 70 mm
