The Pictorial Sunday-Book. Bound up with Scripture Atlas. Geography of the Holy Land. First issued in 1848 by Cox. this is the large folio 14 by 11" reissue with the chromo colour maps of the Holy Land and region. circa 1870. Profusely illustrated volume to use on Sunday published by The London Printing and Publishing Company, Limited, London and New York. ".To produce a work adapted to Sunday Reading, which shall offer to the mind--and especially to the mind of the Young- the study of sacred subjects in an attractive form, and calculated to make the Word of God interesting to Youth." Engravings, illustrative of the Bible History, the Prophecies, the Psalms, the Life of our Saviour, and the Acts of His Apostles; exhibiting the scenes of the great events recorded in Scripture, the Customs of the Jews, the Natural History of the Holy Land, and the Antiquities which throw a light upon the Sacred Writings." Also included are an Index of Scriptural Geography, the extensive Index to the engravings, and the atlas of 13, vintage Hughes maps. Half leather with gilt lettering to the spine. Top 4cm is lightly faded. The endpapers are pristine and so I think this has been rebound - but very well. The third free endpaper has a list of the births, marriages and deaths of the Mould family of Kettering from 1880. The frontis and title page have speckling which continues to a lesser extend for approx 15 pages. Contains about 2000 wood and steel engravings. This is a lovely example with a handsome binding.
