History of the Bible

published in Bridgeport, Connecticut

1831

This tiny, leatherbound Bible is just over two inches tall. It has many interesting little woodcuts, including some scenes like Jonah and the Whale and the Crucifixion of Jesus, as well as busts of figures like Adam, Noah, and Job.

It is in wonderful condition for its age, with all pages present and fairly clean. There is wear to the leather, but the binding is tight. The illustrations are also in good condition — see photos.
