Series Notes:
1. This series is also known as the Honor Bright Series in some early
catalogues.
2. The title page of Volume 1 stated Henry Altemus not Henry Altemus
Company throughout Format 1.
3. As of this date 16 different floral patterns have been noted in
format 1/2. The same title can have more than one floral pattern.
4. Regarding format 3:
a. The earliest books (early
1903) list only
to #14 on the jacket reverse.
b. 1903-1904 books list to #15
on the jacket reverse.
c. 1905-1906 books list to #16a
(Bobbie) on the jacket reverse.
5. Bobbie (#16a) was dropped in format 4.
6. The only thing that distinguishes books #16-25 in this series from
the Rose Carnation books is the dust jacket which identifies the book
as a member of the Dainty Series. The interior of these books is
unchanged from the Rose Carnation Series books.
7. Pictures of Books #16-25 can be seen in the Rose Carnation Series
listing.
8. Occasionally a title has been seen with two different illuminated
pictorial covers in formats #3 and #4. |
