AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This specific book is an iconic, monumental Victorian family Bible from the late 19th century (roughly produced between 1870 and 1890). These editions were printed in London by the well-known publisher John G. Murdoch.
The Commentaries (Henry & Scott): The text contains merged and condensed explanations of Matthew Henry (known for his practical, devout, and life-applicable exposition) and Thomas Scott (known for his strict, dogmatic, and historical analysis). The Scottish professor Dr. John Eadie replaced the gigantic original volumes of these gentlemen with compact notes that fit directly under or beside the Bible text.
The Splendid Illustrations: Murdoch editions were known for their high visual quality. They contain detailed full-page steel engravings and so-called chromolithographs (early, very colorful stone prints) of biblical scenes and historical maps of the Holy Land.
Luxurious Victorian Binding: These Bibles are physically enormous and heavy (often folio format). They were issued in thick, deep relief.
Gold on edge.
With beautifully colored illustrations all in good condition.
The cover is reasonably/moderately good.
For further impressions see photos.
Will be well packed with Track and Trace shipped by PostNL
