Wall Calendars

The first series, Wall Calendars, comprises two genres of calendars: those featuring photographs, and those featuring non-photographic illustrations. All include images of University of Michigan buildings and administrators. Most of the photographic calendars were published in the first half of the 20th century by George Wahr, bookseller and publisher of Ann Arbor, Michigan. The earliest calendars were often designed and arranged by Almira F. Lovell of Ann Arbor, who also worked with Sheehan and Company, another local bookseller and publisher. Although each wall calendar features a limited number of images, they tend to be relatively large, high quality reproductions.
