Boys and Girls Classics
(new) (Series 57)
Here is a new advertising flyer
for this series of fifteen books. The one sheet advertisement which is
9 x 3.25 shows an example of a book cover and lists all of the books.
This series had a number of cover pictures all of which were made from
different linen swatches. See http://henryaltemus.com/series/series57.htm.
The books initially came in labeled boxes but later some were issued
with dust jackets. Frequently there is confusion between these books
and those from the Young People's Library. This is because the
interiors of the books of the same title are identical including the
title page which states "Young People's Library".
The date of publication can be confusing also since Altemus often put
the copyright date on the title page. This series' books can be dated
by studying the ads in the back of the book. The series was published
between 1908 and 1926.
Shown below with the flyer are cover, box and dust jacket examples.
