[The Rose Almanack. Souvenir for 1860]
$ 62.46
[London : Rock Brothers & Payne (printed in Hamburg by C. Adler), 1859]. Chromolithographed and engraved folding pictorial ephemeron, die-cut in the shape of a rose; diameter when opened 240 mm, folding to 120 x 70 mm; the two end panels of the almanac have discreet old tape repairs where the edges had previously separated from the coloured rose panels; otherwise, this incredibly delicate object has survived in good condition, although without the original die-cut cover known from other rare examples.

The young sailor, or the sea-life of Tom Bowline.
