Altemus book binding

Biographies of Blaine and Logan by Thos. V. Copper published by Baird and Dillon, Chicago and New York

Thos. V. Cooper wrote several political books in the 1880’s and early 1990’s. A number of different firms published his books. This book was published by Baird and Dillon in 1884. It is 9.5 x 6.5.

Interestingly the binder was noted on the copyright page as Henry Altemus not Altemus and Company. By the early 1890’s Altemus was concentrating more on publishing its own books.

Several other Campaign of ’84 books which have been published by other firms were bound by Altemus. These will be shown in the future.
