The Book of Common Prayer. A recreation of the original Owen Jones edition published in 1845 by John Murray, London. This edition is strictly limited to a quantity of 800 copies of of which this is number 317. The book is printed on archival quality paper with gilded page ends especially milled for this edition. In 1845, the English-born Welsh architect Owen Jones designed an illustrated and decorated version of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, the official prayer book of the United Church of England and Ireland. It was published in London by John Murray, with two new editions following in 1863. The Prayer Book was reprinted in 1850 which are almost identical copies of the first edition. John Murray subsequently published two new editions in 1863, of which one containing a large number of ornaments and floral borders printed in colours; while the other a relatively simple version without the eight illuminated title pages, and whose page ornaments were printed in monochrome like those in the first edition. Two facsimile editions were published by Easton Press in 2008 and 2015, both bound in genuine leather. The former is called a "Collector's Edition", whose cover features the frontispiece pattern printed in gold and dark blue against an emerald green background. The latter is a limited edition of 800 copies, with the cover featuring a floral cross surrounded by an ornamental frame, both printed in gold, blue and red, against a black background. Other than some minor shelf wear on the slip case, the leather bound, the book inside is in very good condition and is clean throughout.
