Catalogue Note

The calendar contains portraits of the offices of the Order of St Hubert, together with the armorials of the members, and the astronomical calendar at the end. St Hubert is the patron saint of hunters (and others), though the Order is named after his saint's day rather than his religious vision while hunting.
