= Very rare set of attractively bound and unused almanacs, with a specially made woodengraving by H. NUMAN on title-p. showing a typically Dutch village with vineyards and wine pickers in the background and coopers making and inspecting casks in the foreground. The contents of the almanacs are more or less comparable to those of other Erven Sichters Koopmans almanacs, but are preceded by a list of "Overlieden" (2x, both (1)p.) and "Provisionele Commissarissen/ Leden" (8p.) of the Wynkopers Gild. Two of the almanacs (1783 and 1801) have the owner's stamp of the wine merchant Jacobus Boelen (Amsterdam) on upper pastedown. No copies traced. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LXVII.
