Vintage Herbalist Almanacs

I love getting mail.

Especially when it’s a bunch of cool vintage The Herbalist Almanac that I recently ordered.

(From this seller on Etsy.  You should check her out!)

Apparently, First Nations’ people are the foremost authority on herbalism.  That’s why they make the front page every single month.

There are so many great illustrations.  But mostly there are just advertisements for magic potions, as well as the weather forecasts for each month of the year.

These almanacs are circa 1930s and 40s. I love cool, old stuff.  Especially cool, old books.  I once bought a textbook for a correspondence course in chicken husbandry just because it was printed in 1910.

Footnotes from the original owner?  Or at least from someone somewhere along the line. Only makes it more interesting!

Pretty much hasn’t changed in the last 70 years.

More great illustrations.

There was vaccine controversy in the 30s?! Who knew?
