About this Item

First edition of The Macklin Bible, a masterpiece of book design that has been called 'the last of the great Bibles.' Complete in six volumes without the posthumously published Apocrypha. Elephant Folio, 19' x 15.5' and . Full red morocco, covers with gilt rolled Greek meander borders, spines with double raised bands gilt in seven compartments, all edges gilt, gilt dentelle, marbled endpapers. Sturdy bindings are remarkably solid despite the demands of these heavy textblocks. Very Good, ex-libris from the John Wilson Collection of Multnomah County Library with small bookplates on paste downs, a few penciled notes to versos of title pages but otherwise unmarked. Wide margins. Bindings scuffed and soiled, rubbed along joints, wear at heads and tails. Contents generally bright with typical offsetting from engravings; many tissue guards still present. Handwritten 2pp. 1889 note from London bookseller Henry Sotheran tipped-in to Vol. 1, wherein he apologizes for the lack of The Apocrypha, which was published in 1816. Exhaustively illustrated throughout with engravings including 70 full-page copperplates after Benjamin West, Angelica Kauffman, Henry Fuseli, William Artaud, Joshua Reynolds, Philip James de Loutherbourg and others. Weighing in at well over 100 lbs, this Macklin Bible will ship in multiple boxes and will require additional fees for international delivery.
