Q: Hello. I’m doing research on this old Henry Altemus book, Black Beauty. Your website has been very informative. It looks like this is a format 1 cover, and pre-1900.
I would greatly appreciate any help you can provide for more information and its value. Here are some pictures for your consideration.

A: Your book was published in 1897. It is part of the Beauxarts Series.

See: http://henryaltemus.com/series/series47.htm

It is a reprint of this very famous title which was first published in 1890 by the American Humane Society.

Although your book looks to be in great shape, the reprints of Black Beauty are so common that they rarely sell for more than a few dollars. Of course, you never know when someone just has to have this particular copy.
