Note
Remarkable binding, made for Cornelis van Twist (1741-1823) as one of the governors of the Nieuw Spin- en Werkhuis in Amsterdam (listed on p.38 of the Naamwyzer under the year 1789). The silverwork is by Johan Hendrik Schiotling or otherwise by his brother Andreas, who used the same moulds for another almanac given to governor Floris Kramp in 1802 (https://am.adlibhosting.com/ais6v2/Details/museum/33411).
