Q: I have a copy of Henryk Sienkiewicz’s “Quo Vadis” published by Henry Altemus, copyright 1897. As you can see from the attached photo, it has a picture of a woman praying on the front cover. I have not seen this cover before. Can you tell me anything about this edition?
A: Your book is the second American edition of this title. This was a huge seller for Altemus. I am including a picture of the first edition cover.
