Imperial Family Bible, Blackie and Son,1800s, rare copy, large 8.5kgs, leather

Description: Fantastic large Victorian Imperial Family Bible full of superb detailed illustrations. Dating to the mid 1800s the bible is half bound in thick leather . Bibles of this nature would have been an important part of most Victorian households and this would have been an expensive high quality version. This is large, substantial and very heavy at 8.5 kgs. The condition is as shown. There is some light foxing to some pages with heavier to a few based on the differing paper types used. The paper is both thick and thin so it can have some rippling due to this but this is common to most large heavy books of this type. A few pages have creasing to rear. If you have any questions please ask. I have over the years collected many unusual old books and it is now time to let some go and finally have room in an overflowing loft and library. Non smoking house and stored in dark and very dry conditions. Postage prices are in line with size and weight of package….some of these books can be very heavy and large. I have tried to give an give a fair appraisal of the items but please remember that I am going by my own standards...these books have not been graded professionally. In other words if I say good condition then in my opinion the condition is such that I would be happy to buy it myself at the price given. Everybody has different points of view and I am no expert on condition types so please contact me if you have any questions.... I would rather you were happy before buying. These are not mint unused books so please do not bid if you are looking for such. Issues with books of this age can include but are not limited to loose bindings, foxing, page edge deterioration etc I am not a book dealer, I will try and describe the item but I would like to state that the photographs are an important part of my selling...so please study them carefully. If you are are uncertain of anything please contact me and ask. The book is is sold as seen so please check first. I have looked up the costs of all the items and tried to keep the starting price fair in order to allow market forces to dictate. If you get a bargain then good as we will both win.
