Q: Can you identify this book?…It was the Courtship of Miles Standish that is the Altemus book.

A: Your book is part of the Vademecum Series. See http://henryaltemus.com/vademecum.htm. It is a 1907 publication.

The picture is #17 which is shown in the picture section on the page above. There are more than 40 pictures that Altemus used with this cover.

They were said to be European paintings. Unfortunately I have been unable to determine the original artists.

Most of the books in this series have very little value. The titles are not widely collected and the they are reprints.
