This
is a
well preserved and likely hardly used Antique Family Bible in a VERY
GOOD condition. The leather covers of this 1870 vintage Bible are embossed in
gold with texts
from the Bible. This Bible has over
200
illustrations of which many full page (and illustrated by Gustave
Doré). Besides a complete presentation Authorized/King
James Version and Old Testament Apocrypha, this Bible
contains in additional sections (text from the title page): "concordance,
and psalms in metre...a history of the religious denominations of the
world, harmony of the four gospels, valuable treatises, history of the
translation of the Bible, chronological and other useful tables,
designed to promote and facilitate the study of the sacred
Scriptures....together with an index, giving an account of the most
remarkable passages in the Old en New Testaments, embellished with
over 200 fine Scripture illustrations." There is also a
- unused/blank -section for recording the personal family events.
 
This
Bible is in a overall VERY GOOD condition. It
can also be used and opened fairly easily as its bindings and spine have been
professionally restored. There is NO writing on any of the pages.
Still retains traces of the gold embossing on the edges of the covers
and the edges of the pages are gold gilt. There are NO ripped or missing
pages not any staining, just a slight 'aging' of the paper. There is
some wear to the edges of the covers and areas on the leather. The claps are in fine working
order. Overall a very nice antique Bible.
