Q: A friend of mine works in construction and while on a recent job he saved a bag of books from going to the garbage truck. Inside that bag was this book, Nature and Art. We are curious to it’s history, authenticity and value. Could some of those be determined by the photos I have provided?

A: This book was published in 1896 and is part of the Belles-Lettres Series.

It is a reprint and only has nominal value.
