Here's another interesting antique item from the mid to late 1800's. This is a very large leather bound edition of the bible, often known as a family bible at the time. We're not sure when this was published, who the publisher was or what year as it is missing the early pages with that information. We do see reference to the Catholic Bible History. This one has a small group of engraved pages or plates as shown. This makes us think this is from the 1860 to 1880 period as later ones seem to have had color pages in addition to engraving plates. This one is about 10.5 by 12.5 inches in face dimension and about 4 inches thick. It weighs over 10 lbs. Here is a list of the details we noted. (1) The cover overall is very good.(2) There are supposed to be two metal latches for securing the bible closed,,,one is present and one is missing. (3) The bound pages are unglued from the cover as we show in a picture.(4) We found one page loose from the binding within the bound group.(5) The bible part of this seems to be full and complete.(6) The first group of pages that include the title page through page 50 of the "History of the Catholic Bible" are missing.(7) There are woodcut style page engravings of good number within the pages of the history section.(8) There is a "family" blank page that is blank and there are no family photos on the pages
