ca. 1870 Unmarked Massive John Stoughton (color) Royal Family Bible

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!
