Q: Can you tell me the history of this book? Thanks

A: Your book is a part of the Petit Trianon Series and was published in 1899.

During this series publication history, every year there was a new cover. This one is the 1899 format.

In 1899 the left half of the cover remained constant while the right side had numerous different decorative patterns. I have seen 27 up to this point.

These books originally came in a labeled box. (An example is shown below.)

All of the books in this series are reprints. Thus, only special collectible titles have more than nominal value.
