Offered is a wonderful old and large Bible from the 1800's. Most books of this age and size have long ago fallen apart or suffer from severe binding issues. This one is surprisingly intact, granted, with a few issues, but overall it is amazingly sturdy and sound. Of course any text of 150+ years requires careful handling. There is a lot of evidence of moisture staining in many of the pages. There are a few rips and just a couple of hand written notes to be found, but again, its a pretty solid piece. There is no question that this Bible has been handled hundreds of times, displayed, moved, packed, shuffled, and stored, and again, remains intact.

There are multiple drawings and illustrations throughout the the text, all still protected by the the printer's tissues. The illustrations alone are very beautiful and worthy of your discovery.

Oddly, there is no date to properly determine the exact printing date of this Bible. There is a hand written note on a separate piece of paper included which indicates that the Bible was owned by a gentleman who was born in 1818. I have no way to prove this fact nor reason to doubt it.

Overall, this a very nice find and I am confident in offering it to you as a beautiful piece of Christian history. I hope you agree in its value and will give this wonderful old Bible a safe new home. Enjoy!
