The Lothrop Publishing Company published a number of series beginning
in 1895 which consisted of oversized board covered books with numerous
stories and illustrations. The volumes are connected by the series
name which is noted at the bottom of the front cover. The cover
illustration is different for each title. I have been unable to find
any series’ book lists for these sets. Titles will be added as they
are discovered. Of interest is that some of the titles have been seen
in more than one series and some titles within a series have been seen
with different cover illustrations.
Illuminated board covers. 10.5" x 8.25".
