Abstract

Kolendar za puk za prostu godinu 1847 [Calendar for Common People for the Common Year 1847] is a booklet measuring only 13.5 x 10.5 cm, comprising a total of 116 pages. It contains information useful for farmers and craftsmen: from lists of fairs, through annual weather forecasts or tables for calculating interest on loans, to practical instructions on what to do, for instance, when a human or animal is bitten by a snake. Appropriately enough, the Calendar also includes a section primarily intended for children. Moreover, this section features on the cover, although it is not presented as the Calendar’s children’s pages, but rather as an attractive, illustrated section. The pages of Dusty Covers contain facsimiles of all ten illustrated contributions from the Calendar.
