We have a charming little number from popular Philadelphia publisher Henry Altemus for your #publishersbindingThursday enjoyment. 

Initially a bookbindery known for their beautiful photographic albums and bibles, Altemus began issuing series and reprints around 1889, all with elaborate and striking decorated cloth bindings such as this. 

 Gold dust: A collection of golden counsels for the sanctification of daily life. Translated from the French by E.L.E.B. ; edited by Charlotte M. Yonge. Philadelphia: Henry Altemus, [1897?]
