Folly Series (Series 89)

 

Altemus Advertising Flyer - An advertising sheet announcing the new Caroline Wells' Folly Book, Folly in the Forest has been found. The 7.125 x 3.25 inch flyer announces the Folly book on one side and Frederick Ober's For Prey and Spoils on the verso.

The Folly book was originally part of the two book Folly Series, series #89. Later it was included in the Little Men and Women Series, series #125 which was introduced in 1908.

The Ober book was at first part of Series #60, Boys and Girls Series of New Copyrights. Later it was also included in the Little Men and Women Series.

Both books are included in the bibliography's main section of pictures.

Both the books here were also published in 1902.

It is presumed that since the sheet announces the new publication of Folly in the Forest, that the advertisement dates from the 1901-1902 era. It is also presumed that there are many more of these flyers from this vintage not yet discovered.
