The Almanach royal is a French royal almanac printed in Paris around 1700, a yearly reference of court and state officials, issued for the king's administration and its readers. Its pictures are small and functional: a crowned ornamental printer's device above the place name, a close-set printed text block with italic and roman type, and a simple diagram of a sun or moon with the words orient and occident marking east and west, useful for designers seeking period typography and emblematic ornament.
