    Sole edition of this entertaining almanac for 1789, aimed at young people (but presumably not children) with a delightful suite of humorous and mildly erotic plates by François-Marie-Isidore Queverdo. Each month is given an engraving, several verses and songs with music. Among the latter is found ‘Air de la negresse’ — a three-verse song with music from (or perhaps just inspired by) Radet’s 1787 opéra-comique La Negresse. Though recorded by both Gay and Carteret we have not located any institutional copy in the usual online catalogues (WorldCat, KVK, CCFr, JISC). Carteret 866; Gay I, 112.
