![]() ![]() The idea of a diary and almanac was familiar to English readers but this new annual contained twelve engravings to commemorate each month. ![]() By 1831 there were 61 titles and this phenomenon lasted until 1846 when the variety had reduced to 16 titles. By 1828, there were fifteen different "literary annuals" and they were selling 100,000 copies at prices between eight shillings and three pounds. This was a major difference from previously when the writers saw themselves as leading the imaginative process. A marked difference was that Ackermann was willing to commission engravings and then request a story or poem to accompany it. The idea of an "annual" was new and was aimed primarily at women readers and exploited the lowering cost of publishing. This annual was a new concept it combined some aspects that had been seen in England with new ideas Ackermann had brought from Germany. From the first edition he employed Frederic Shoberl as editor. ![]() In November 1822 Rudolf Ackermann published Forget-Me-Not: A Christmas and New Years Present for 1823. It was the first literary annual in English and it was edited by Frederic Shoberl from its launch in 1822. Forget-Me-Not was an illustrated British annual published by Rudolph Ackermann. ![]() ![]() ![]() Book request titles must contain details about the kind of book you’re looking for.Inflammatory titles like Does Anyone Else, Unpopular Opinion, or similar are not allowed.Gush and critique posts should contain the book title/author if applicable. ![]() Reviews and screenshots of book excerpts must contain the book title/author in the post title.Book request titles must contain details about the kind of book you’re looking for and/or keywords that will inform future searches.Rules Post titles must be clear and informative For updated information regarding ongoing community features includings upcoming AMAs, please visit 'new' Reddit.
