Antique German Illustrated Calendar, 1901:
$45.00

This is a German-language calendar of sorts from 1901. It is in the form of a booklet.

The text at the bottom of the front page says “Seventeenth Year”. I can’t make out the Gothic-style script just above it to tell what that part of the cover says. On the first interior page it says something like (according to Google Translate), “State coat of arms and pedigree plaque of the Grand Duke of Baden”. Each page inside after the first page is a month with an elaborate illustration on the right-side page and a calendar showing Saints’ days and moon phases on the left page.

The last couple of pages are full of dense Gothic script that is hard to make out, and the back cover is a mostly blank page titled “Notice Board.”

There are some definite condition issues. The front cover is detached from the binding, as are the last several pages. The paper is dry and fairly fragile but the interior pages with the illustrations are in good shape with clean, bright colors. Please see the photos for details.

It measures 12.5 inches in height by 6.5 inches in width.
