In 2012, I created a calendar which featured quotes by Jane Austen along with fashion drawings from the Regency era when Jane Austen lived. They came from a magazine by Rudolph Ackerman called "The Repository of Arts, Literature, Commerce, Manufactures, Fashion and Politics". Each issue of the magazine featured some of these pretty fashion plates. I found a blog article that tells a little about Ackerman's shop and magazine HERE.
After I created the pages, I emailed them to my friend Lorraine in England and she turned them into a beautiful wall calendar. Here is what the January 2012 page in the wall calendar looked like:For 2027, I shrunk the wall calendar size pages down to 7x5" desk calendar size and added the dates on each image. I'm also including the images without the dates on them below so that you can use them in your own projects.
