An abundantly illustrated ("illustrated
with numerous descriptive engravings") Domestic antique
family Bible with a
beautiful leather cover, spine (gold lettered) and gold gilt pages. The cover
depicts (in gold) the creation and a imprint of JOs. T. & L. E.
Baker.
The Bible has many in-text engravings and (as per the title page):
"notes, reflections, questions, improved readings, improved
divisions of chapter, the chronological order, metrical portion
distinguished and various other advantages without disturbing the
usual order of the books, verses and chapters by the Rev. Ingram
Cobbin, M.A.". There is an extensive family section (with
records of the Baker family going back to 1843)
 
This
Bible is in a VERY GOOD (clean and pristine) condition. It
can be used and opened easily (as a daily reader) as its bindings and the
spine/covers have been
professionally restored. There is NO writing on any of the
pages (except for the family records). There are NO ripped or missing pages. A few age related spots, but
overall very clean. There is
some very slight wear to the edges of the covers. A very well
preserved antique family Bible
