"Poor Richard's" New Farmer's Almanac. For the Year of Our Lord 1837
Concord, NH: Atwood and Brown. Wraps. Very Good. Item #022864
no date, perhaps 1836. Plain wrappers over perhaps the original wrappers. 48 pp. A few small illustrations at the top of each month page. Portrait of Benjamin Franklin on the front cover. An almanac appropriating the image and alias of Benjamin Franklin, presumably to capitalize on the success of his original almanacs. This iteration from New Hampshire appears to have had a short run, published from 1834 to 1839. This contains the usual monthly almanac information, as well as agricultural tips, news from New England courts, recipes for making bread without yeast, apple marmalade, rich wedding cake, etc. VERY GOOD condition. Date in pencil on the front wrapper. Minor general toning and soiling. Minor wrinkling. Minor foxing to the rear cover.
Price: $30.00
