Description: For sale is a well preserved luxurious personal-size Bible bound with a hymnal from a rare antebellum Southern imprint. Loaded with engraved artwork, maps, and tables, this beautiful Bible is a stunner inside and out. Condition VG+, only mild wear and staining to paper and hinges from some use during its lifetime. Small 8vo, about 4" x 6" x 1 5/8". Bible is in excellent shape, and was well cared for by its owners. Original black full leather is soft, grainy, and a little glossy. Gilt borders around boards and inside blind tooled compartments on the spine. Gilt tooled dentelles around the edges of the boards and around the perimeter inside the covers. Some shelf wear, and hinges are a little worn. Spine is nice and tight throughout. Gilt page edges in good condition. Text block is strong, paper is thin but tough, moderate toning and some staining to be found throughout. Folded maps have tender folds but all is present. I've done my best to accurately and honestly describe and photograph this item. However, if you'd like more pictures or have questions, please feel free to message me. I encourage all who are interested to make an offer, as all offers will be considered!
