Tenth Annual Report of the Women’s Christian Association (1881) Altemus and Co. Publication

Although the main imprints used by Altemus were Henry Altemus and Henry Altemus Company, the Altemus & Co. imprint can be found on early Bibles from the 1870’s, scrapbooks and photograph albums. The Altemus & Company press also printed various titles. Some are monographs for groups mostly in and around Philadelphia. These latter books were generally produced in small quantities and are quite scarce. Here is another example.

This 11 page pamphlet was published by the “Press of Altemus and Co. in 1881. Interestingly Altemus did not publish any other Annual Reports for this organization.
