About This Item
A fresh copy of the long-running Paris almanac known as the Etrennes Mignonnes, published, with changing subtitles, from 1716 to ca. 1845. The engraved title and frontispiece varied from year to year (up to 1750, after which none were used), and the map alternated between an ecclesiastical, civil, or military map of France, or a map of the Paris region. In this edition, the frontispiece and title are loosely based on those used in the 1741 edition, by Cochin II. Cf. Grand-Carteret 107.

largely from the fifteenth to the early nineteenth centuries, and mainly from Continental
Europe. We look for printed books and manuscripts produced by or for less powerful social
strata -- women, the poor clergy, children -- but we also approach the historical book
as a crafted object, and thus offer examples of early printing and books of significance
for their illustrations, typography, or bindings.
