Rare, unique collection of 50 sequential calendars printed in Vilna: 1810-1860

Fifty sequential calendars printed in Vilna-Grodno, between 1810-1860 at "Defus HaShutafim" [the partners' press] and then Romm press.

Specifications: Most measure 10x18.5 cm. The others are smaller.

Content: The format and topics of the calendars changed over the years, but its border was preserved.

Unique features: This unique collection includes fifty years of calendars printed by the same press, bound together originally. It is apparently very unique among collections of calendars extant in the world.

Condition: Fine. All the calendars are bound together originally, however, the binding has fallen into disrepair over the years, and only traces of the spine remain. Tears in solitary leaves. Aging stains.
