Q: Hello I just picked up this Black Beauty book, it has no date inside, a little girl wrote her name and date 1888. The inside reads Henry Altemus Philadelphia.
Was hope you knew more about it. Thank you.

A: Your book was published in 1897 as part of the Beauxarts Series. See http://henryaltemus.com/series/series47.htm

It originally came within a labeled box. All of the titles in this series are reprints.
