About This Item
876 printed pages on finest India paper. 28 full-page line illustrations of testament scenes reduced from designs by Charles Bell Birch, A.R.A. (1832-93) with permission of Messrs S. Bagster & Son. It contains notes on the Shakespeare family records and facsimiles of the entries in the parish register, Stratford Upon Avon, included between Old & New Testaments. 'Licence' to Nimmo Hay and Mitchell on verso title-page indicates 1919 as publication date. All edges red (very slightly marked). 36 x 50 mm. Original brown calf in the antique style, blind-stamped in imitation of 16th century binding. Holy Bible in gilt on spine. Magnifying glass in front cover pocket. Chained with original metal links to wooden Lectern, 8.5 x 15.4 cm. Paper printed label on shelf above pedestal, describes it as a facsimile of those chained bibles found in some English Cathedrals (slightly worn). This particular example is in unusually good condition, more often found rubbed or defective. It was originally sold in a red cardboard box with a printed label - but this rarely survives and sadly not present here. Bondy, 109. Bromer/Edison, 77. Spielmann, 25. Welsh, 566.

About Camden Lock Books, ABA, IOBA.
My online bookselling is Camden Lock books. I own Camden Lock Books & list books that are uncommon, in demand and may be hard to find.
My book expertise came with four years as Chairman of London P.B.F.A. , many more years of exhibiting at monthly London Rare Book Fairs & owning my own bookshops continuously since 1984.
Every book here was valued by the person who first bought it and will be just as prized by the person who buys it now from my shopping website.
I am an accredited professional & a full member of the ABA, ILAB and the IOBA, "Setting the standard. The books you want...from booksellers you can trust".
You can meet me on my stand at Firsts 2024, London's Rare Book Fair, at the Saatchi Gallery, London SW3 4RY, 16-19 May 2024.
I also am joint owner of Burley Fisher Books , an independent bookshop offering new and secondhand books.
