1806 HOUGHTON FAMILY BIBLE w/Engravings BIG!!
Item # 1493321754
Description:
Here is another one of those huge old leather bound Bibles (I have two on
eBay at the moment, so please have a look at the other one too). This one
measures 15 x 10 inches and is a little over 3 inches thick. As you can
imagine it is quite heavy, but I have a shipping option that allows me to
send it to USA for only $22 (airmail). Within UK it would be parcelforce
standard at $15.This bible has excellent prints, which are mostly nice and
clean (a few have a little foxing). The frontispiece print is badly foxed.
The first few pages are loose, including the title page, the frontis., and a
few pages that have the family history of the Houghton from the 1760s to the
1820s. Here you have three full pages of names, births and deaths of the
Houghtons. The rest is well attached to the binding (must be over 1000
pages). There is some foxing hee and there throughout, but it's not bad
overall. The leather of the binding is quite worn, and the front board is
detached. Published by J. Tregortha of Burslem, 1806. Interestingly, it has
the original spine label in gilt red leather, preserved inside the front
cover. This label bears the name Joseph Houghton and is dated 1809.
