First editions of the first eighteen years of this famously visual calendar produced in Bavaria, the Catholic part of Germany. Narrow quartos (12 1/2 x 6 inches). Unpaginated but each calendar generally runs 36 pp. Black letter. Very bright and striking chromolithographs throughout. Publisher?s alligator-pattern cloth with brown morocco gilt lettering label (a bit scratched). All wrappers bound in. Except for the spine label, this grouping is faultless.The Calendar was published from the year 1886 until 1936. The amount of design and work that went into producing these calendars is impressive. There are dozens of chromolithographed heraldic plates designed by Otto Hupp. While the imprint varies (München, Central-Verein für Kirchenbau, 1889, 1891; München, Huttler, Fischer, 1890, 1892-1893; München, Nationale Verl.-Anst., Buch- u. Kunstdr., 1895-1900) the format and style remain consistent and easily identifiable. In addition to the pictorial wrappers and heraldic plates there are five large folding plates of real interest (each measuring 12 1/2 x 24 1/2 inches). They are; The Mountains of Marchle (with towns and mountains identified); The Fourteen Holy Helpers (a group of group of intercessory saints particularly venerated in Catholic Bavaria); A plate of the eighteen breweries located in Munich in the years 1890-1991 (each with its own pictorial insignia); The Coats of Arms of the German States (showing the powerful houses before WWI); The Capital and Residence City of Munich (with large banners reading Scholarship, Art, Craftsmanship and Industry). All of these plates have perforations about one in from the gutter; presumably these were to be detached and hung in the house as artwork. An interesting piece that, due to its unbroken length, shows the subtle change from the Arts & Crafts movement into the beginnings of the Jugendstil aesthetic.The main designer, Otto Hupp, did far more than the hundreds of heraldic plates in the 50 year run of this Calendar by the time of his death he had done more than 6,000 heraldic plates. In addition he created monumental collections of German civic arms, bookplates, postage stamps, coins and banknotes, trademarks, commercial graphics, type fonts, stained glass, ceramics, architectural decoration, and works of scholarship.
