Large heavy bible measuring 34 x 25 and 8cm thick, full leather binding with blind tooling to both boards and spine, gilt titles to spine, gilt to all page edges, gilt to leather turn-in, has a Family Register which has not been filled in, this is where you would put parents and children's names, marraiges and deaths, illustrated with colour plates which are mostly maps.

CONDITION
In very good condition indeed and perhaps the best we've seen from a bible of this age. The leather binding is very good with no damage. Hinges secure with no cracking and the inner cloth hinges are very good and strong, the clay endpapers are in very good condition. No writing or names or other previous owner's marks. All contents present and pages in very clean condition throughout. Overall a fine example of a Vivtorian Bible. Would be hard to find one in better condition!!
