A very well preserved, unmarked
(no writings in the family record pages), extensively illustrated (
with more than onethousand illustrations") Potter's Pictorial
Editions - Holy Bible with a
beautiful gold decorated/embossed light brown leather cover and gold gilt pages.
The (Authorized - King James Version) Bible has many in-text engravings and (as per the title page):
"to which are added directions for the profitable reading of
the Scriptures, a summary of the whole work as contained in the books
of the Old and New testaments, chronological and genealogical tables,
and tables of Scripture measures, weights, coins, etc. etc.."
There is no date mentioned but it is almost certainly from the 1860ies
period.
There is a nice family section (unused, so not
filled out!)
 
This
Bible is in a overall VERY GOOD+ (VG+) condition. It
can be used and opened easily (as a daily reader) as its bindings and the
spine/covers are solidly holding/attached. There is NO writing on any of the
pages. There are NO ripped or missing pages. Very few age related spots,
and overall exceptionally clean. There is
some minor wear to the edges of the covers but even the gold
around the edges is very well preserved.
