An
extensively illustrated and comprehensive, antique Holman's edition of
1875 family Holy
Bible. Over 1300 illustrations, including many full page Gustave Doré
engravings and maps and charts (even a large fold-out one). As per the title page: "The
HOLY BIBLE Translated Out of THE ORIGINAL TONGUES with the APOCRYPHA, CONCORDANCE and PSALMS.
Comprehensive Bible Dictionary...complete history of each book of the
Bible, beautifully illustrated, cities of the Bible...Jewish and
Egyptian antiquities; Biblical scenery; manners and customs of the ancients
natural history; Bible aids for social prayer; a history of the Jewish
worship, etc, over one hundred thousand marginal references. A concise
history of all religious denominations...the whole embellished with
thirteen hundred engravings on steel, wood and in colors." The family
register pages have not been filled out!
 
This
Bible is in a overall GOOD condition. There are NO ripped or missing
pages, just a slight occasional light stains/browning of the paper as
to be expected. No writing. This is the original binding (so handle
with care!) but the hinges are in a fairly good condition and not split.
We noticed a few loose pages. There is
some wear to the edges of the covers and areas on the leather.
