Q: I have two questions about the book, Evangeline and Other Poems, that is pictured on the attachment. One, is it part of the Valdemecum #180 or Petit Trianon #143 series? Its size is 6 1/4 by 4 1/4 inches. It was received as a gift by the former owner in 1903. It was published by Henry Altemus Company. Second, what are the name(s) of the flowers on the cover?

I have visited your website and thank you for providing such good information on Henry Altemus books.

A: Your book is part of the Vademecum Series and was published in 1904. On the webpage you can see books that have the same cover format in the 1904 pictures.
Vademecum Series (later numbering) Series 180
Your flowers match the Iris pictures. Of course, I wouldn’t know an iris from a dandelion but years ago a flower expert identified all of the Altemus cover flowers for me.
