1880ies Pristine Beautifully Illustrated (Doré) Parallel Bible

This is a beautifully and extensively illustrated Antique Family Bible in a VERY GOOD - EXCELLENT condition. The leather covers of this 1880ies Bible are embossed in gold and the pages are gold-gilted. This Bible has numerous illustrations of which many full page (including Gustave Doré) and some in color. Besides a verse-by-verse parallel presentation of both the Authorized Version and the Revised Version, this Bible contains in additional sections (text from the title page): "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." There is also a (BLANK!) section for recording the personal family events.

This Bible is in a overall VERY GOOD to EXCELLENT condition. It can also be used and opened fairly easily as its bindings have been professionally restored. There is NO writing on family pages (there is a dedication in the front of the Bible). Still retains most of the gold embossing on the edges of the covers and the edges of the pages are gold gilt. There are NO ripped (there are a few rips on the first pages) or missing pages not any staining, just a very slight 'aging' of the paper. There is some wear to the edges of the covers and areas on the leather. A very fine, almost pristine antique Bible!
