1880ies Self-Pronouncing Parallel Family Bible

A 1880ies (does not list a exact date, but based on the kind of Bible and its contents and engravings a date between 1880-1890 is very likely) Family Pictorial Bible, Self-Pronouncing edition containing the Old & New Testament in a verse-by-verse comparison between the Authorized - King James - Version and the Revised Version. This clean and attractive Bible is loaded with Biblical background information and study-aids, including (as per the title pages): "A complete concordance and the Psalms of David in Metre, copious marginal references, chronological tables, and many important and valuable aids to the study of the Holy Scriptures. Written to increase the interest in and simplify the word of God." This deluxe, Burgundy leather bound book has gilt lettering on the front, a hubbed spine and gilt lettering on the spine. Numerous (full page) illustrations (many from Gustave Doré) and some additional color maps. The presentation page and the family pages have not been filled out.

Tooled leather bound edition in good condition. Edge wear, corner bump, rubbed and scuffed in places, a few loose pages in the front. Otherwise okay. Approximately 10" x 13" x 5" thick. The book is solid and ready to be read and used. There is no writing on of the pages, no ripped pages (a few rough paper edges in the first pages) nor any staining or foxing, just a slight 'aging' of the paper. A gorgeous antique family Bible!
