Unusual chromolithographic calendar which opens like a three panel mirror that might sit atop a lady's vanity. Closed, the calendar is 28 by 20 cm. Its full width when opened is 60 cm.

Booklet, 16mo. 9.5 cm tall, and opened to 12.5 cm wide. The card base is slightly larger, with feet and a top piece that from top to bottom measure 12.5 cm. The feet look like tabs if one focuses only on them, but gazing at the whole, one sees they are meant, with the top piece, to mimic an easel upon which the booklet rests. In the back of the card is a metal support which was meant to be pulled out to allow for the whole thing to stand up. (Here the metal is unused and thus unbent.) The back of the card also has Pompeian urn ornamentation and the date "1930". The booklet: 32 pp. Th... View More...
