Dating the Knox's Mayne Reid's can be somewhat challenging. One key point is that Knox was located at 813 Broadway in New York between 1884-1887 and at 817 Broadway in 1887-1888.

Only one format has been seen:

Cloth. Various colors. Gilt letter boxes on the cover and the spine. Illustrated
Line drawn cover illustration of a waterfall with surrounding floral decoration. 7.5" x 5.25".

Note that this book has the earlier 813 Broadway address.


Note that this book has the later 817 Broadway address.
