The French Republican Wall Calendar: Years 232-235

BRAND NEW: Third Edition Available November 2023!!

The French Republican Wall Calendar is a visual representation of the calendar implemented during the French Revolution.

In keeping with the new values of science, humanism, secularism, and a reverence for the every day "citoyen," the creators of the calendar renamed days for plants, animals, tools and elements native to France. Months were renamed for the atmospheric conditions of that time of year.

The result was, unsurprisingly, not much use as an actual calendar but a beautiful representation of French life and a new, far more poetic way to capture the passage of time.

Updated Highlights Include:

- Features all twelve Revolu­tionary Months (and the Sans­culottides Holidays)
- Compatible with Revolu­tionary years 233–236 (Gre­gorian years 2024–2028)
- Includes an all-new introductory essay

Handsomely printed, durably saddle-stitched, and lovingly shipped from Madison, Wisconsin

PLEASE NOTE:

- UK and EU buyers, we love your support more than you know. That said, shipping can be expensive and there are possible import taxes once the calendar arrives. We are doing our best to deal with it on our end but we can't guarantee you won't get some sort of *additional bill.*

- The calendar does not function as a usable wall calendar. It is a curiosity and makes a great gift for revolutionaries, locavores, francophiles, and anyone who hates normal time keeping.
