Content

 This almanac is special in more than one way. The printer of the work was a woman, Maritgen Symons, probably a widow who had continued the business after the death of her husband. This book also has a vellum cover made from a page of an old manuscript psalm book. And the booklet contains an ex-libris of F.G. Waller (1867-1934), an important collector of, among other things, occult literature, prints and ex-libris. His collection of chapbooks was obtained by the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in 1937.
