The peerless 100-year Chinese-English calendar 1894-1948

first edition

1924 · San Francisco

by Gardner, J. Endicott
San Francisco: [Calmar Printing Company, 1924. First edition, 8¼" x 5¼", pp. [8], 100, [4]; text in English and Chinese, printed in black and red; red printed paper wrappers backed in red cloth; light creasing to wrappers, else fine. The traditional Chinese calendar operates on a sexagenary cycle and is not easily translated into a Gregorian date. With the increase of trade between China and the west, a handy reference for conversion was essential. The compiler first produced a table for the use of American Immigration agents, then expanded it into this 100-year calendar for the general public. Newberry and Huntington only in OCLC.
