18th Century French Leather-Bound Geographical Almanac

A beautiful 18th-century French leather-bound geographical almanac, titled Almanach Géographique ou Petit Atlas Élémentaire. This petite volume features an ornate engraved title page and a finely detailed portrait of Christian VII, King of Denmark and Norway.

Bound in richly aged leather with raised bands and remnants of gilt decoration along the spine and covers. The pages show wonderful age-related toning, foxing and handwritten inscriptions from previous owners, adding to its history.

A lovely decorative piece for a collection of antique books, displayed open to one of its engravings or simply enjoyed for its wonderfully worn leather binding.

France, late 18th century, c. 1770–1790.
Antique condition with significant wear and losses to the leather consistent with its age.
