8vo (158 x 95 mm). [48] pages. Printed in red and black throughout. Woodcut arms of Amsterdam on title. 12 half-page woodcuts in calendar. Interleaved and bound with 2 blank leaves at front and 72 at back. Annotated by a contemporary owner with a couple of stray notes on interleaves and a total of 70 pages of manuscript historical notes on the blank leaves at end (one blank leaf almost detached). Contemporary plain green parchment over thin pasteboards, flat spine, large flap extending from lower cover, the parchment of the upper cover not attached to upper fore-edge, leaving a slot to insert the flap, lower free endleaf backed in pasteboard and with folding leather-lined pieces at top and bottom attaching it to lower cover, thus forming a wallet or envelope. *** Part almanac, part blank book, this useful volume is bound in a supremely practical wallet binding, of a kind that was common once and is no doubt found in large numbers in historical collections, but which surfaces rarely in the book trade. The slot in the front cover to insert the folding tab from the lower cover protected the volume from Dutch weather, and the lower cover contains a pocket for loose papers or even money. The Amsterdam comptoir almanacs were issued yearly by successive members of the Stichter printing family from 1728 to the mid-19th century. Unlike their French counterparts, these Dutch almanacs were generously proportioned, being at least originally intended for the ?counters? of merchants and businessmen, rather than for gentlemen?s or ladies? pockets. The calendars were always interleaved, and the contents were standard: one page is devoted to each month, containing a half-page woodcut above a blank space for notes on the recto, and the monthly calendar on the verso. These woodcuts, each with a tiny inset astrological sign, show indoor and outdoor scenes: ice-sports in December and January, a family huddled by the fire, with boisterous children in the background, in February, tree-trimming and pruning in March, gardening in April, a pastoral scene with lovers in May, sheep-shearing in June, and so on. The blocks are here quite worn. Following the calendar are postal and transportation schedules (by coach or ship), 3 pages of astrological predictions, and a short chronicle of the year 1734 (someone forgot to update the sheets?). The contemporary reader who used this almanac / notebook (and whose hand seems feminine to me) was a student of history. The first 16 and 1/2 pages, at the beginning of the blank leaves, contain a list of Roman emperors. Toward the end of the blank leaves are 32 pages on the succession of the Dukes of Flanders, titled ?Opvolgengen der Graven von Holland, uit het Goudasche Kronyken.?

2 works in 1 volume. Ad 1: The very popular almanac for the year 1771 published by the heirs of Cornelis Stichter at Amsterdam, in a richly silver-tooled vellum binding, depicting the themes of the work itself with lively baroque ornaments. The "comptoir" or "office" almanac, intended for merchants, business men and office personnel, belonged to the oldest Dutch almanacs. Originally published yearly in various sizes, the present almanac is printed in 4to. The work was composed by Dirk Jansz. van Dam, and consists of an extensive interleaved calendar on 12 leaves containing the days of the month, indicating the phases of the moon, and the dates of the cattle, horse, and leather markets in several places in the country. Each month is illustrated with a half-page woodcut, starts with a poem of four lines, and includes a prognostication and some historical facts which have taken place in that month in previous decades. After the calendar follow the privilege and annual information, including the dates of the official holidays, time-tables for the closing of the city gates, the departure of postal services and passenger coaches and barges, tariff-lists of seals, etc. Ad 2: After the calendar follows under a separate title (Anno 1771. Schutters wagt-almanach .) a quire of four leaves with time-tables and posts for the year 1771 for the sixty companies of the Amsterdam night watchmen, more than a century after Rembrandt completed his Night Watch.Strom van Leeuwen records another copy of the same almanac, for the year 1782, bound in exactly the same vellum with the same silver-tooling as our copy, from an unidentified Amsterdam bindery.With the bookplate of Cornelius John Hauck (1893-1967) mounted on the front pastedown. The silver tooling has evenly oxidised to dark brown, the boards are slightly rubbed. The work is interleaved. Otherwise in very good condition.l Ad 1: STCN 156647710 (5 copies); Waller 67; ad 2: not in the STCN; cf. for the binding: Storm van Leeuwen, DDB I, p. 751 (fig. 261), p. 753. Contemporary elaborately silver-tooled vellum, with the coat of arms of Amsterdam in the centre of the front board, and an impression of three drummers on the back, both signed "Duisburg F[ecit]", both boards with a baroque ornamental border, with the coats of arms of each of the seven Dutch provinces at the top (with that of Holland prominently in the middle), the coats of arms of the 20 largest Dutch cities on the sides (Dordrecht, Delft, Amsterdam, Haarlem, Rotterdam, Leiden, Gouda, Hoorn, Alkmaar and Enkhuizen on the left side; Middelburg, Vlissingen, Amersfoort, Arnhem, Nijmegen, Groningen, Leeuwarden, Franeker, Zwolle and Deventer on the right side), and at the bottom an image that probably shows the transfer of goods near a city. With a woodcut printer's device on the title page of ad 1, a large coat of arms of Amsterdam on the title-page of ad 2, and 12 half-page woodcuts, one for each month, printed in red and black in ad 1.

Amsterdam, d'Erfgen. van de Wed. C. Stichter, 1755, 13x7.5 cm, marbled paper binding (cahier), gilded edges, bottom corner of the marbled paper slightly faded but otherwise in excellent condition, without page number, city crest of Amsterdam on title page, printed in black and red, with many animal and astrological symbols in the text.

Amsterdam, Erfgen. van de Wed. Corn. Stichter, 1754, 8x5.5 cm, bound in dark shagreen (ray skin, in Dutch: "segrijn" or "roggehuid"), four silver clasps remain (decorated with the coat of arms of Holland), with silver pen, marbled paper flyleaves, gilded edges, no page numbers, good condition, printed in red and black ink, lots of celestial and animal symbols, printer's mark on title page. Scarce. l In the middle of the book there are several blank pages (of two kinds of paper), intended to make notes. More than one owner has left his or her mark by making use of these pages. Most entries are in Dutch, but there are also entries in French by Agathe (1817). Some entries seem to be made by a child as it concerns the date of his daddy's birthday and a visit from the school teacher. The entries date from 1817 to 1839. An endearing example in Dutch (1817, Den Haag): "Schoon ik uw dierbaar bijzijn mis (Although I miss your presence) Toch zweeft ge atloos in mijn gedachten (Still you're always in my thoughts) Uw hart betoovrend beeltenis" (Your enchanting image).
