London, Paris, And New York. Cassell, Petter, & Galpin 1870 Morocco Very Good Folio - over 12" - 15" tall Gustave Dore
A very impressive Victorian family Holy Bible. Not dated. c. 1860's-1870's. Cassell's Illustrated Family Bible. With over 900 engravings. Large, thick, folio sized family Bible - 12.75" x 9.5" x 4.5". Full title reads: "The Holy Bible: Containing The Old And New Testaments, With Explanatory Notes, References, And A Condensed Concordance. Illustrated With More Than Nine Hundred Highly Finished Engravings. Cassell, Petter, & Galpin. London, Paris, And New York." This is a king size Bible measuring a very grand 12.75" x 9.5" x 4.5". It contains more than 900 highly finished engravings - in colour and black and white, many by the renowned illustrator Gustave Dore. It is bound in rich black morocco leather. With a double gilt filet border, and inner gilt border of leaves, berries and scrolls to the front and back covers. With five raised bands to the spine with gilt title holy bible, in the second compartment. Even though it is such a large Bible it is quite easy to open and read as it has been specially bound so that the pages can be opened out completely. The pages are all edged in gilt. With gilt decoration to the inner turn-ins, marbled pastedowns and endpapers. The texts have been sumptuously embellished with hundreds of engravings, including a number of full colour lithographs by famous artists, including Gustave Dore, unquestionably the most celebrated 19th-century French illustrator. As the introduction states "The numerous engravings were all executed by eminent British and Foreign artists. They include views of cities and other localities mentioned in the text, and illustrations of the manners and customs and natural productions of the East. The various maps have been prepared with care from the best authorities" The Chronology of the Bible, a four page list of all the illustrations and a 2 page list of descriptions of the illustrations of antiquities follow the coloured frontispiece and engraved title page. The initial capitals are beautifully decorated at the start of every chapter. There is a decorative page for family register/portraits that has never been filled in. The New Testament title page reads: "The New Testament Of Our Lord And Saviour Jesus Christ With Critical And Explanatory Notes; And References Illustrated With Numerous Highly Finished Engravings. Cassell, Petter, & Galpin. London Paris And New York" After the New Testament comes the Concordance to the Bible. This Bible is in very good condition. The Bible at some point was professionally rebacked, with the original spine laid down. There is some rubbing to the cover and edges of the black morocco, and a 2cm chip to one of the raised bands on the spine, gilt title on spine very dull. The internal condition is generally very clean throughout, a few spots to first and last few pages, a few faint spots to margins of pages here and there, other than this the texts and illustrations are very clean and sharp throughout. There are 1688 pages in the Holy Bible, 1264 pages in the Old Testament and 424 pages in the New Testament, including the Concordance.

Provenance: Originally owned by the Aunt of and given to Lady Margaret Watson on "April ye 5th 1713" The front free endpaper has been beautifully inscribed in ink by Lady Margaret Watson upon receipt of the book, in beautiful handwriting in various calligraphic styles within an elaborate border of scrolls and ornate corner pieces. "Margaret Watson Her Book. Given me by my Aunt Anne Watson. London April ye 5th 1713." And tipped-on to the marbled front endpaper is another leaf "Found among the 6th Lord Monson's Papers" on which he has tried to reproduce the lovely inscription upon seeing it in the Prayerbook, at the time in the possession of Miss Monson of Cheltenham. Above it he writes: "This is a copy as well as I could delineate it of a beautiful specimen of penmanship in the prayer book of Lady Margaret Watson who afterwards married John 1st Lord Monson. The original is in the possession of Miss Monson at Cheltenham bound in morocco and clasped and guarded in silver. I have only copied the corners of the border the rest was too elaborate for my imitation." And beneath his reproduction of the original inscription a later relative, the one who tipped it into the prayerbook, has added "Found amongst 6th Lord Monson's papers. This the above-mentioned prayer book came later into his possession being left to him by Miss Monson. Monson, Burton, 1905" Lady Margaret Watson was the daughter of Lewis Watson, 1st Earl of Rockingham. She married John Monson, 1st Baron Monson of Burton in 1725.
