Gift edition of ' The Pictorial New Testament with Illustrations Specially Drawn in Palestine for The Scripture Gift Mission'. Boards made from Jerusalem olive wood, carved with a cross, and lettered with 'Jerusalem' to upper board and 'Bethlehem' to lower. The boards are highly attractive and in very good condition. 24mo - over 5 - 5¾" tall. No date stated but believed to be c. 1900. 'The Pictorial New Testament' was printed in England by the Scripture Gift Mission. 1020 pp. with 24 coloured plates and 32 engravings. A 'Note by the Art Editor' states: "In the Illustrations for this Volume, the Artists have not attempted to delineate the Divine Christ. Their object has been rather to represent pictorially customs in the East to which reference is made in the Sacred Word; and by the landscapes to represent these Holy Fields traversed by the feet of Him who nineteen hundred years ago was nailed to the Cross for the Salvation of Sinners." The book is in good condition (hence grading). The sprinkled page edges are age-toned.The endpapers and front matter are lightly browned and spotted, with a 1931 ink inscription to the ffep. The text block is firmly bound and the contents are clean. The Scripture Gift Mission (SGM) was founded in 1888 by a printer named William Walters, who believed the Bible should be accessible to all. His two main innovations were to make the Bible available free of charge, and to dispatch two painters (James Clark and Henry Andrew Harper) to Palestine to produce illustrations. Both of these were controversial at the time, as it was felt that they devalued the scriptures. All orders professionally packed, tracked and/or signed for, and insured.
