1898 CHROMOLITHOGRAPH CALENDAR- LOVELY PURPLE & YELLOW PANSIES - MADE IN SILESIA

Description

1898 Chromolithograph Calendar With a Purple and Yellow Pansy Design. It was designed in England, but printed in Silesia. If you've not hear of Silesia, it was broken up after WWII and given to Germany, Poland and The Czech Rep. The calendar consists of 3 printed sections, each with 4 monthly calendars on them. It is highlighted with gold-gilt printing, strewn with pansies, and held together with purple ribbon. It is in excellent condition. There is no soiling. If you look very very closely you might see a tiny bit of wear on some of the scalloped edges. But in general the edges are very sound, and the colors are still extremely bright. It is exceptionally well preserved and displays beautifully! Please see all of the photos above to confirm the condition of this fantastic calendar.

are and lovely "1898 Chromolithograph Calendar With a Lovely Purple and Yellow Pansy Design.  In the late
1890's, chromolithographed advertising media were all the rage.   Everybody who was anybody, had a scrapbook for these little pretties.
This unique and beautiful calendar was designed in England, but printed in
Silesia
.   We mention this because even though we have traveled all over western Europe, we had never heard of Silesia.  Even though as it turns out, we had been there … sort of.  And no,
Silesia
is not a fake country in Fairy Tales.  It is an old country dating back to the 10 Century.   Naturally it's borders changed every time there was a war, but before WWII it included areas that are now Germany, Poland and The Czech Rep, and had a population of 8,000,000 people. Warsaw was it's largest city.  After WWII the country was split up and much of the population was expelled by the Communist government.
Back to the calendar … It is difficult to describe. It consists of three printed sections, each with 4 monthly calendars on them.  Each printed section highlighted with gold-gilt printing, and is strewn with pansies.  The calendar is held together with purple ribbon, and is designed to hang on the wall.  It measures approximately 7" x 5" (18 cm x 12.5 cm), and is printed on card stock. The back is blank… no writing.
It is in excellent condition.  There is no soiling.  If you look very very closely you might see a tiny bit of wear on some of the scalloped edges.  But in general the edges are very sound, and the colors are still extremely bright.  It
is exceptionally well preserved and displays beautifully!!
