Great Deco cover.
Photo 2 is a list of French Public Holidays.
Photo 3 shows August and times of sunrise and sunset.
Each day has a Saint's name: a saint for each day of the year.
Saint Pierre es liens is the feast of St Peter in chains.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Peter_ad_Vincula
August 2 was Alphonsus Maria de Liguori .
August 3 is Se Lydia or Saint Lydia of Thyatira.
Se = Sainte. S = Saint. Female and male forms.
The D in bold denotes dimanche or Sunday.
August 15 Assomption is in bold because it's a public holiday.
The last photo is for personal details:
Glove size
Shoe size
Neck size
Hat size
Watch number
Weight
Height
Date of birth
The watch number is an interesting detail. Why?
A gift with a new watch?
1945 has significance too.
There are those NL, PQ, PL & DQ abbreviations too that so far defeat me.
Hope this helps.
Got the abbreviations NL, PQ, PL & DQ. They refer to moon phases.
NL = Nouvelle Lune or New Moon
PQ = Premier Quartier or First Quarter
PL = Pleine Lune or Full Moon
DQ = Dernier Quartier or Last Quarter.
Thanks. I've learnt something here.
Thanks vetraio50 we have both learned. the info is appreciated.
