An
extensively illustrated and firmly bound Antique Family Bible
in a well-preserved, unused- unmarked (with blank family records section) condition.
Attractive half-morocco covers with gold stamping ("Holy
Bible") and raised bands. Besides
the complete presentation of the Authorized (King James) Version there
are various additional sections including "marginal readings,
explanatory notes, introductions to each of the sacred books and an
essay on the history of the Bible by the Rev. John Stoughton." This
wonderful old bible is also illustrated through-out with many beautiful
full-page color (chromolithographs) and black and white engraved plates.
Especially the color prints make this a rather unique Bible for the
1870ies!
Original Family Record pages are not filled out.
 
This
Bible is in a VERY GOOD condition. It
can also be used and opened fairly easily as its bindings are solid. There is NO writing
on the family pages (or anywhere else)! No damages or missing
pages nor any staining nor any writing, just a very slight foxing on
some of the
paper . Rubbed at extremities, just through at
points. A
ready-to-be used, unmarked and very well preserved antique family Bible!
