Donohue Brothers Quarto Series
Donohue Brothers succeeded Donohue, Henneberry & Co. in 1900. The latter firm published a number of series in quarto size with illuminated covers and numerous pictures. Many of these same series were then published by Donohue Brothers.
Unfortunately I do not have a complete list of the Donohue Brothers quarto series. I suspect that most of the Donohue, Henneberry series were also published by its successor. The known Donohue, Henneberry list can be seen here: Donohue, Henneberry and Company
The earlier Donohue Brothers' quartos note Donohue, Henneberry & Co. on the cover and Donohue Brothers on the title Page. The later publications show Donohue Brothers on the cover and M. A. Donohue & Company on the title page.
