E. R. Curtis and Company, Cincinnati
(Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress)
Altemus occasionally produced books for other companies to claim as
their own. These books are identical to the Altemus editions except for
the imprint which indicates a company other than Altemus. Examples of
these books are hard to find. Here is a new one for the database.
This book has the E. R. Curtis & Co. imprint on the title page
but in every other way is identical to the Altemus published book of
the same title.
1. The Henry Altemus embossed logo is on the back cover of the book.
2. The front cover is identical to the Altemus Format 2 Bunyan's
Pilgrim's Progress which was first published in late 1890.

3. The title page has Altemus' Edition at the top.
4. On the copyright page it shows the earliest of the three Altemus
Format 2 copyright notices.
Thus, this book was published by Altemus for E. R. Curtis in the early
1890's.
