Derived from dealer description: This collection consists of one Napoleonic era mother-of-pearl and gilded metal bound monthly appointment book. It was published in approximately 1810 by Chez Marcilly in Paris. The book includes one metal pencil-like writing instrument with a roller-like tip, housed in a metal spiral on the unbound side of the notebook. When present, the pencil secures the notebook shut. Directly on the front piece of the mother-of-pearl is gilt floral decoration on all sides, with "Souvenir" written in decorative lettering in the center, and a small vignette of a man on a horse below. The rear piece of mother-of-pearl has a floral vignette as a centerpiece. Each month is labelled in cursive beneath a small rustic vignette. The booklet contains 19 leaves and is approximately 3.5 inches long and 2.5 inches wide when closed.
