The Juvenile Almanack
January 17, 2023
On this frosty day in mid-January, I thought this might be a good moment to look forward through the year with this almanac from the eighteen-twenties, published by Hodgson & Co, 10 Newgate St. I am grateful to Sian Rees for drawing my attention to these wonderful images.

Really interesting-what about Guy Faux-‘false guy?’
I like it because it gives us hope.
200 years old and simply so beautiful!

Delighted that these emblems of the seasons appeal to you – thank you for sharing them.
The last picture reminds me of Charles Dickens “The Christmas Carol” where Scrooge remembers his schooldays
Interesting to see in November ‘Guy Faux’ – which makes sense since it is a ‘false’ Guy Fawkes. I wonder if this was the original term which fell out of use over time. Lovely bucolic images.
Lovely!
