Original illustrated calendar for 1918 featuring a color illustration of a picturesque moonlit scene of a bay or harbor with a tree, beach, and boat in the foreground. The title of the illustration, "Glorious Night," is printed in the lower-right corner. The calendar portion is composed of small leaves of beige paper stapled to bottom margin of the illustrated portion or backing.

Backing has a surface tear limited to upper-right margin measuring about 1 1/2" x 1," a few closed tears along the edges with the largest measuring about 1/2," slight wrinkling, and light to moderate dampstaining or soiling in the lower-left corner. The only perceptible damage to the illustration are a few wrinkles. A Good copy. From Ryan & McPhillips, The Kimball Store in Kimball, South Dakota. Original punched hole at top for display.
