1889 Massive (Doré) Illustrated Holman Family Parallel Bible with clasp

An extensively illustrated and professionally re-bound Antique Family Bible in a well-preserved condition with functional metal clasp. Attractive embossed covers with gold stamping ("Holy Bible") and raised bands ("Holy Bible - parallel New Testament"). Besides the complete presentation of the Authorized (King James) Version of the Old testament and Apocrypha, both the Revised Version and the KJV are presented in parallel for the New Testament. Many extra's are included, like color maps, gallery of Scripture illustrations, comprehensive (illustrated) dictionary of the Bible, biographical and historical essays on each Bible book, parables of our Lord, chronological index, alphabetical table of the proper names, Bible text-book, concordance and so on. Many full page (Gustave Doré and others) illustrations, color plates and maps. The family record pages give the history of the Ackerson and Vogt family (you can obviously just removed those pages if you like...).

This Bible is in a VERY GOOD condition. It can also be used and opened fairly easily as its bindings are solid and professionally restored. No damages or missing pages nor any writing (except for family register pages), just age related browning of the paper . Rubbed at extremities. Overall a very well preserved antique family Bible!
