The Robie cut itself appears to have been copied from the one which appeared in John Tully's An almanack for 1693 (Boston: Benjamin Harris) and which continued in use in many of the almanacs printed by Bartholomew Green as late as 1723. The Robie version (in which the spelling of "Pisces" is corrected) appears also in the North-American calendar and gentlemen and ladies diary, being an almanack for 1773, by Samuel Stearns (Boston: Edes & Gill and T. & J. Fleet); and with other engravings in that almanac was attributed to Paul Revere in: Brigham, C.S. Paul Revere's engravings (Worcester, Mass., 1954), p. 136. Its final appearance seems to have been in Low's almanac for 1779 (J. Gill and T. & J. Fleet), and it thus had evidently remained in the Fleets' possession and use for at least 63 years. Includes "A prophecy of Lord Kames concerning the North American Colonies": page [17]. Title within border of double rules; text printed within ruled border.
