Rare official almanac of the Kingdom of the Netherlands printed by the "imprimeur et libraire de Sa Majesté" for the year 1819 in French, one of the two official languages of the country at the time. Apart from the parts usually present in almanacs (calendar, eclipses, postal rates, coins, etc.), the Calendrier Royal contains a complete overview of the members of the royal family, the official functions of the court and the civil service of the Dutch Kingdom, the government, and the Dutch ambasasdors in other countries, with the names of all the officials and office holders. We have not been able to find the present edition anywhere else.
With contemporary annotations in the back, mostly a list of names, and an annotation on the first free flyleaf suggesting that the present copy was owned by Baron Constant Rebecque, paymaster, whose name has been marked on p. 148. The spine is gone and has been repaired with a strip of red paper, which is partially detached, the edges and corners of the boards, of both the book and slipcase, are scuffed. Internally very clean. Not in Grand-Carteret; Nauroy; Welsh; WorldCat.
