Series 48- Beauxarts Series (later numbering)

The Beauxarts Series is a publisher’s series of various reprinted works of fiction, essays, poetry and classics that was published between 1897 and 1902. The books of the series had two different numbering sequences. The first sequence is in Series #47 (http://henryaltemus.com/series/series47.htm) and included the books published in 1897 and 1898. Each of these year’s books have distinctive covers.

The later Beauxarts Series (Series #48) which was published between 1899 and 1902 had two different formats. The book being added to the database today is the fifth cover variant of the 1899-1901 volumes. This book is the first of this cover format that I have seen with silver lettering. I am including the other 1899-1901 covers here for interest.
