By [Queen Victoria]
London: N/A, 1841. First Edition. Full leather. Very good. The Victoria Miniature Almanack, featuring a detailed calendar, regal table, and list of bank transfer dates, likely from the year 1841.. Miniature, measures 1 3/8" x 2 1/2". Finely bound in black morocco, with detailed red and gilt embellishments to covers. Red endpapers. Solid text block, light rubbing along edges. Lacking the front free endpaper and title page. Features a frontispiece of the Garden at Buckingham Palace. Other contents include: January through December calendar, a Regal Table with a list of the Royal Family, the Officers of State, a Table of Stamps, and a list of Transfer Days at the Bank. Housed in the original matching morocco and gilt slipcase. A unique example. This almanac, despite lacking the title page, can be dated to the year 1841. The "Almanack Explained" page lists the year as Dominical Letter "C," Golden Number "18," and Cycle of the Sun "2." 1841 is the only year within the reign of Queen Victoria that correlates with all these points.
