Longfellow’s Poems Vol 1 Leather Bound w sea image Henry Altemus Company Philadelphia. Undated in book itself, but Altemus printing history Reprints of Poe, Carroll, Hawthorne in addition to the writings of Emerson, Kipling, Longfellow and many, many others made up the Vademecum list. The same book list was used by many of the Publisher’s series. The later list (from 1899 on) was in alphabetical order. The earlier one was a random book list. Perhaps the most interesting of the Vademecum books are the ones published between 1901-1907. During this period of time there were 6 different covers which had paintings by European artists as appliques on the front covers of the books. Because of the width of the original paintings, two books may have parts of the same painting but may look totally different because they have different sections of the painting on their covers. To further explain, note the pictures. Each of these five covers (from 1903 and 1907) look quite different even though the pictures on the front of the covers are really from the same painting. Because of this it is somewhat difficult to absolutely quantitate the number of different book covers there are. However this cover style was 1907
