1901 Advertising Flyer
Tommy Foster's Adventures was
first published by Altemus in 1901 as part of the Boys' and Girls'
Series of New Copyrights. Folly in Fairyland was also first published
by Altemus in 1901. This latter book was the first title in the two
book Folly Series. Since both books first came out in 1901, a
reasonable assumption is that the flyer is from that same year. It is
7.125 x 3.25 which is the typical size of the Altemus one sheet
advertising flyers.
It is likely that most all Altemus titles/series had similar
advertisements. Unfortunately they are quite hard to find.

Advertising Flyer
1902 Advertising Flyer found
Within a Diplome L’Honneur Series book a one sheet advertising flyer
has been discovered. This series was only published in 1902 and both
books advertised on the flyer are also 1902 books.
As pictured below, on one side of the flyer is a picture of the
frontispiece from the book Gypsy the Talking Dog by Tudor Jenks. The
Jenks’ book was originally part of the two volume Jenks’ Talking Animal
Series (Series #111). Later, beginning in 1908, it was part of the
Little Men and Women Series (Series #125)
The other side of the flyer advertises Wings and Fetters by Florence
Morse Kingsley. This book was part of The Boy’s and Girl’s Series of
New Copyrights (Series # 60) published in 1901-1902. Of interest is
that the picture seen on the flyer does not appear in the book. This
book has an illustration page which lists the four glossy pictures
found within. None match the flyer’s picture. A puzzle to be sure.
The flyer is 7.25” x 3.25”.
