Following the London fashion, numerous almanacs of this type were published in Paris after the fall of the Empire. Intended for a female clientele, these small pocket — or rather parlor — publications competed in minuteness and delicacy to seduce an increasingly demanding public.
Manuscript note on the blank leaf.
From the library of Jean-Paul Kahn.
