Folly Series (Series 89)
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.
