A 1884 beautifully gold-decorated embossed (in an exceptional fine, bright and fresh shape) leather parallel Bible, with numerous gorgeous (Gustave Doré illustrated) full page black and white (and some color pages and maps) engravings published by Chandler Bros, Rockford, Illinois.  The pages have gilded edges. Besides a parallel presentation of the complete texts of the Authorized Version and Revised Version it also present the text of the Apocrypha and includes: "a complete Concordance; a history of ancient Biblical manuscripts; the earliest printed editions of the Bible; a history of the revision of the Bible etc." and much more. The family pages preserve the history of the Cavett and Woody family of Monroe, Iowa.

This Bible is in a overall GOOD - VERY GOOD condition. The leather on the covers look fresh and very well taken care of with minimal light wear to the hinges. The binding is still tight but as it is old it requires the Bible to be handled/opened/closed with care! There is NO writing on the pages (except the family pages). There are NO ripped or missing pages, just a slight occasional 'aging' of the paper. There is some minor wear to the edges of the covers and areas on the leather.
