A handsome antique illustrated “family” Bible in a deep blue leather binding with gilt titling to the spine and decorative blind-stamped boards. Published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin (London and New York), this edition includes the Old and New Testaments with references, critical/explanatory notes, a condensed concordance, and is famously illustrated with more than nine hundred engraved images throughout. It’s a brilliant piece for Dark Academia / Old Money library styling—the kind of statement book that instantly elevates a shelf, study, or console display.

Size (approx): 28 x 22 x 7 cm (11" x 8 11/16" x 2 3/4").

Solid antique condition with visible age wear—rubbing and scuffing to the leather, edge and corner wear, and handling marks to the boards and spine (as shown). Pages show typical age toning; overall a great display copy with tons of presence.
