About this Item

Large thick quarto, 32x26 cm. Elaborate gilt-stamped pictorial leather with a recessed panel (reading The Pictorial Bible) and raised bands. Some shelfwear and very mild chipping at extremities and joints. AEG. Generally excellent condition. [12], [12], 8, xvi, 16, 32, 16, 104, 24, [16], 48, viii, 640, [4], 104, [18], 16, 8, iv, 5-399, 837-848, [4], 32, 44, 36 pp. Many beautiful chromolithographed plates, one folding plate with panoramic views of Jerusalem and other colored pages for geneaology and family portraits. Hundreds of uncolored engraved illustrations, many full page. Laid in are some photos and other items from the Sweigert family in the San Francisco Bay area. A very large, heavy volume, undoubtedly a deluxe edition. Dated from the copyright page, which contains 10 copyright notices, beginning in 1872. Published by J. Dewing Co., 420 Bush St., San Francisco. Elaborate bibles from this period are not uncommon, but most were published in the East. The San Francisco imprint, along with the fairly extensive information regarding the Sweigert family, an early prominent family in San Jose, make this more interesting than most.
