A set of 12 woodcuts cut from a copy of The kalender of shepherdes, an English edition of an almanac first published in French in 1493 by Guy Marchant as Le compost et Kalendrier des bergiers. The first translation of the almanac was published in Paris in 1503.
These woodcuts closely accord with the illustrations in a 1500 French edition of the Compost (Bodleian Library, Oxford, Douce 161), but differ from those in an English edition of 1556. However, the text on the verso of the Royal Collection woodcuts is in English. -
