This paper aims to approach the connection between text and image reproduction and time perception. It does so by two case studies of yearbooks published throughout the Nineteenth Century. The article offers a compared analysis of l’Almanach prophétique, pittoresque et utile, published in Paris from 1841 to the beginning of Twentieth Century, and of the Palmaverde, an Italian almanac published in Turin from 1722 to 1888 with no suspension. By some sounding in this long sequence, it aims to show the function of stereotypes and forecasts in the reproduction of a mixed order of time. It suggests that correlation of texts and images derives from public demands and circumstances of historical events.

Abstract
This paper aims to approach the connection between text and image reproduction and time perception. It does so by two case studies of yearbooks published throughout the Nineteenth Century. The article offers a compared analysis of l’Almanach prophétique, pittoresque et utile, published in Paris from 1841 to the beginning of Twentieth Century, and of the Palmaverde, an Italian almanac published in Turin from 1722 to 1888 with no suspension. By some sounding in this long sequence, it aims to show the function of stereotypes and forecasts in the reproduction of a mixed order of time. It suggests that correlation of texts and images derives from public demands and circumstances of historical events.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
