A date book printed with pages for every day of the year, at the top of which are citations from Kuyper’s works together with brief bibliographic references. The title of the source publication is printed in parentheses below each citation, and beneath this the date is printed in boldface. In practice, the date book was not just used for anniversaries, but also for taking note of wedding days, death days, and other memorial days. Every page is framed by an ornamental border, within which there is a dotted line with rounded corners. The book is composed of twenty-three sheets of sixteen pages; there is no pagination. The texts for this album were assembled by H.S.S. Kuyper, who would do the same (using different citations) for 1902.15.

This kind of date book, with pithy proverbs, aphorisms, and brief citations from the works of a well-known contemporary, was not uncommon in the Netherlands of the nineteenth century.
