This is a small 6" by 4" handheld planner for the year 1890. On the left side of every page is a small chart that tells you what day of the week each day is of the month. It also includes the holidays that are celebrated that month. On the right side of every page is a beautiful floral design and short poem that relates to what is going on during that month. Unlike the cover, the inside images are in multiple colors.
This is an important addition to the People's Graphic Design Archive because it showcases how art style has changed in the last 134+ years. We can see how layout design has changes over time as well as the evolution of type.
