Q: Hello,
I picked up this copy of Uncle Tom’s Cabin at a book sale. I’m just kind of wondering what year it was printed. It says Stowe died in 1898 in the “about the author” foreword, so I know it was printed after that, but is there any way you could identify it for me? It’s pretty fun just having this in my hands.

A: Your book was published in 1907 as part of the Vademecum Series.

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

For more on the appliqué on the cover see: Henry Altemus Company – Vademecum Series / European Artists

Here is an example of the box.
