Q: Hi! I have a book (Tales from Shakspeare) that I am trying to figure out it’s age. I couldn’t find an example of it on your website. Can you help me with that? I’ve attached pictures for your reference.

Thank you for your help!

A: Your book is part of the Valenciennes Series and was published in 1897.

See: Henry Altemus Company – Valenciennes Series (earlier numbering) 181

It originally came in a labeled box.

It is a reprint.
