Like most other folk art, the calendar pictures were not considered to be art in their own day.

与大多数其他民间艺术一样，日历图片在他们那个时代并不被认为是艺术。

In fact, the calendar pictures were originally printed as advertising for various companies that made hunting or fishing products, like guns or fishing rods.

事实上，日历图片最初是为各种制造狩猎或捕鱼产品（如枪支或钓鱼竿）的公司印刷的。
