Hypostases of Women in the Engravings of the Calendar of Buda from 1817
In 1817, Zaharia Carcalechi printed at the University Typography his first Calendar, entitled Genealogy of Emperors and Kings from all over Europe. Calendar (in the same year he published the same book in Greek). Besides the two puncheon prints, on the outside of the covers having mythological scenes, there are other six illustrations inside the book, one of them being signed by Andreas Geiger. The presence of women in the eight illustrations and the fact that the next Calendar edited by Zaharia Carcalechi, in 1818, comprised many pieces of advice for them, being „an encyclopedia of household advice, a vademecum, necessary for the Romanian housewives in the first half of the 19th century”, show the care for woman which started to amplify in the Romanian bourgeois society.
