Quo Vadis by Henryk Sienkiewicz
by: Bob

The book was by Henryk Sienkiewicz and originally published in either 1899 or 1900. Your copy may have been a 1913 reprint.

The highest priced book similar to yours was described in abebooks.com (Babylon Revisited Rare Books) as:

"M. A. Donohue and Co. Chicago: n.d. [1913]., 1913. Presumed First Theatre Edition, illustrated with photographic scenes from the theatrical production. The play was on Broadway in the year 1900 and these scenes are most likely taken from this production. The book itself may be from the turn of the century but is dated on front end paper by a former owner in 1913, and thus this is the earliest date we can determine. A bright and attractive Very Good plus copy in extremely scarce dustjacket, edge chipping and dime sized chip to mid spine."

The book was priced at $100 and has a dustjacket which was very rare for the early 1900s.

So your book would likely be worth less than $100 based on what I know about it.

Hope this is helpful.

Thanks for the submission,
Bob
