Cross calendar for 1918.

The last cross calendar, published already under the Provisional Government. A copy from the library of V.Ya. Bryusov: the signature “Valery Bryusov” and the stamp of his Museum-apartment on the front cover, on the inside— “Library of V. Bryusov” in pencil. Сontains menologion, lists of wonderworking icons and the saints; non-Orthodox calendars for Russia (Armenian-Gregorian, Evangelical Lutheran, Roman Catholic, Jewish, Mohammedan); alphabetical list of cities and other localities of Russia; banks, fees and charges; post offices, railways, steamship lines; new laws and regulations; anniversaries and obituaries (with photographs). Of particular interest is the section “The Great Revolution” (chronicle, February—September)—a detailed description of the events by days, from the abdication of the Tsar to the arrest of Kornilov, Denikin, Markov and other generals (Kornilov rebellion). With full-page photographs of members of the Provisional Government. Rare calendar+poet library provenance.
