885 Original Holy Bible, George V Jones publisher Boston, Mass. circa This edition won many prizes in expositions
2000 illustration steel engravings, wood cut print engravings, and color lithographs
measures about 12 1/2 by 10 1/2 by 4 1/2 , gold engraved leather covers front and back, and gold gilt edges
only writing that I saw was on the marriage certificate page. back of Bible has places for photos, those appear unused and all intact.
some wear to corners
gold gilding on leather show biblical engraving all are in great condition, clasps intact, not loose.
I saw a similar edition listed on the internet, for 10,000 dollars
I would say editions improved with printing as the desire to win expositions. offers considered
