[ALMANACH - RELIURE BRODÉE].
The prototype of the sensitive souls or the Epargnes of the modesty. New almanac decorated with beautiful engravings.
Paris : Jubert, s. d. [1789].
In-24, engraved title, 24 pages of songs and 12 plates, and 24 pages of calendar inserted in the middle with a large folding plate bound in two parts, at the beginning and at the end of the work. Binding of the period in ivory silk embroidered with frames, garlands and floral motifs of golden threads and colored sequins, delimiting in the center of each plate a miniature in medallion painted in the silk, endpapers of dominoté paper, golden edges.
Delightful example of embroidered binding, very well preserved, decorated with miniatures with a gallant theme: the first one shows two burning hearts on an altar, surmounted by the inscription: "Friendship unites us", the second one, a couple of doves, one on a branch, and the other fallen from the tree, accompanied by the words: "Fidel mais malheureuse".
The almanac is further illustrated with an engraved historical title, 12 beautiful figures, interesting for the costumes, and a large folding calendar plate, decorated with the signs of the zodiac.
