This SINGLE double-side leaf (both sides shown) is from what is a early/mid-1700s King James Bible. While the publisher is unidentified, the format and style of the page is extraordinarily similar to bibles published by John Baskett of Oxford and his sons, Richard and Thomas, (e.g., double-columns, red-line ruling around the columns, centering of chapter name or number, column top headings, etc.) 

"John Baskett was called the greatest monopolist of Bibles that ever lived. He printed Bibles of various sizes from this time in Oxford and London and for a few years at Edinburgh also until his death in 1742. The printing was then continued by his two sons Thomas and Richard (Robert) in 1743-1745, and after the death of Richard in 1745 by Thomas alone, the imprint in Oxford reading: "Thomas Baskett, Printer to the University" and in London; "Thomas Baskett, Printer to the King's Most Excellent Majesty and the Assigns of Robert Baskett." On the death of Thomas Baskett in 1761, his son, Mark (grandson to John Baskett), continued the business until 1769 when he sold out to John Eyre from whom it descended to the firm of Eyre & Spottiswoode of London. In or about 1763 the Oxford business was transferred to London, one office being used from this time for the entire establishment." (The American Antiquarian, Apr 1927)

The Nature of Prints & Engravings: It was not until the 20th century that prints were commonly produced for the print itself. Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. A vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.).  While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
