About this Item

This richly illustrated mid-Victorian title by biblical scholar John Kitto offers a captivating look at biblical history and geography through steel-engraved plates. Published circa 1847 by Peter Jackson, Late Fisher, Son, & Co., London, this edition includes two of the original three volumes: Volume I and Volume III, with 64 plates in each. Each scene is accompanied by a corresponding historical and geographical description, spanning figures such as Ruth and Boaz, Caleb and Achsah, and John the Baptist, as well as landmarks like the Cedars of Lebanon, Gygaean Lake, and the ancient Temple in Jerusalem. Designed to appeal to both the religious reader and the Victorian enthusiast of biblical antiquity, the engraved illustrations and explanatory texts provide visual access to sacred narratives and sites. Good. Leather binding over marbled boards shows worming and rubbing, with wear at the corners and some hinge loss. Text blocks are sound, plates intact, pages toned but clean. Format: Quarto (4to), two volumes. Collation: 132 pp in each volume. Illustrations: 128 full-page steel engravings total. Edition: Circa 1847. #29565 PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
