Following the London fashion, numerous almanacs of this kind were published in Paris after the fall of the Empire. Intended for a female clientele, these small pocket — or rather salon — publications vied with one another in delicacy and refinement to appeal to an increasingly demanding public.
From the library of Jean-Paul Kahn.
