1872 Holman's Edition of the Holy Bible

This is a comprehensive and nicely illustrated Antique Family Bible in a VERY GOOD condition. This big 1872 Bible (this must be one of the first 'pictorial' family Bibles published) has a gold decorated leather cover with a completely functioning brass clasp on the site and a number of gorgeous full page black and white engravings (including a number from Gustave Doré). Besides a presentation of the Authorized/King James Version of the Old and New Testament and the Apocrypha, this Bible also contains lots of extra study information, like an introductory history of the Holy Bible, history of the books of the Bible, Testimony for the Bible, a section on Scripture difficulties, and extensive pronouncing (illustrated) Bible dictionary, a concordance and index and much more. And there is a unmarked/clean family record section. All in all a very complete and very early Antique Family Bible!

The book is in an overall Very Good condition. Binding and hinges work fine, all pages are solidly holding in their bindings and the paper is very clean. The cover and spine show some wear but not much for its age. Paper is clean, hardly any age spots. You will like this Bible!
