Q: I have acquired a book which I believe to be at least 100 years old, however I have no information and cannot seem to find information online.
The book is called Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius and has a green cover with floral inlay. 2 bits of information I think is correct is that is was part of the Marqueterie series with a something that was described as sepia etchings to the cover.
I have seen this cover but not for the same book. I have included a picture of the same cover, which is the only book I can find with the same cover but different title.
A: Your book is part of the Vademecum Series and was published in 1900. See: Henry Altemus Company – Vademecum Series (later numbering) Series 180
This edition is a reprint with nominal monetary value.
During 1900 the books in the Vademecum Series were published with this cover format but in a number of different colors.
