1898. NA. Very Good. Four die-cut chromolithographic panels, with four months on the top and bottom panels, two months each on the other two, and pretty illustration of pansies surrounding the small boxes (made to look like scrolled pages) for the months. The panels were intended to be displayed vertically, so the top and bottom panels have more jagged shaping to their top and bottom edges, respectively. The panels are meant to be held together by silk ribbon. The original ribbon here survives but is torn, and so the panels are now completely separate pieces. Otherwise, the intricate jags along the edges, which are highly vulnerable to breakage over time, appear fully intact. The panels were once mounted in an album or on a board, and thus one can see evidence of the mounting on their blank backs. The dimensions, outermost, are 15.5 cm wide, 7 cm tall.
