As noted yesterday, Thomas Knox wrote numerous books, a number of which were part of juvenile series. His most well read series was clearly the Boy Travellers.
This 15 book series was published by Harper and Brothers in large (9 x 7) volumes . The covers were well illustrated in multiple colors and gold gilt. Each cover was different with a book appropriate picture.
The text was supplemented with maps and copious numbers of pictures. Initially they were priced at $3.00 each-a high price for a book in those years. Although it is likely they had dust jackets , I have never seen one.
Here is the series.
