Waddesdon Manor - Glorious Years: French Calendars from Louis XIV to the Revolution

From royal weddings to victorious battles, almanacs glorified the king by illustrating these significant events on large single-sheet printed calendars, which spread into the homes, schools and shops of the French people. The exhibition will provide a unique opportunity to learn about and compare these rare almanacs from their golden period, when they were produced as unofficial propaganda for the king Louis VIX, through to the Revolution. Booking Not Needed.
