Q: I purchased this book (Hyperion) about 30 years ago in Monterey, Ca. I would appreciate any additional information about it. Thank you for your website and all the valuable information.

A: Your book is part of the Vademecum Series and was published in 1901.

It originally came within a labeled box. It is a reprint and has nominal value.

The applique picture on the cover is one of more than 40 that have been seen. In most instances several pictures can be combined to form a larger illustration. For more information see: Henry Altemus Company – Vademecum Series / European Artists
