- In German
Grey cloth-boards with printed paper sheets pasted to the upper and lower boards, plain endpapers - with a printed note on the front pastedown and the back endpaper clean
The 287 pp of prelims and text are dominated by almanac entries and advertisements - although there is some other text and several half-tone illustrations, including a portrait of Kaiser Wilhelm I as frontispiece and the first German church in Cape Town (see images)
The front printed paper is damp-stained but the pasted-down advertisement on the back cover is clean; there is an ink signature on the title-page with "1886" - the year before the almanac year; the contents are generally clean, with some occasional light foxing
- This is a rare book and the almanac seems not to have been issued for later years; we have been unable to find copies of Wagener's South African almanac for later years; the publishers, however, announce a different book in preparation (see image)
