ILLUSTRATIONS TO THE HOLY SCRIPTURES Consisting of Eighteen Maps and Plans by Samuel Bagster - 1856

London: Samuel Bagster and Sons, 1856. Undated but Plan of Jerusalem dated 1837 and inscription to the front free end paper dated 1859, Copac suggests 1856. The maps state "Engraved for Bagster's English Version of the Polyglott Bible" and have evidently been borrowed from that work to make up this small book of maps. Title page, explanatory list; follwed by 12 leaves of engraved maps, printed to one side only, consisting of double and single page maps, most of which hand-coloured. All present in accordance with the explanatory list but not bound in the same order. Original red-coated end papers, all edges dyed red. Original quarter tan morocco over pink cloth boards with gilt lettering to the upper board. Very good, a few ink marks - more so to the rear board. Contents good and tight, all maps in very good clean condition, the small private stamp of H. E. Spencer (near contemporary) has been liberally applied to the front blank and title pages. A very good copy - scarce, Copac lists only three copies.. Hard Cover. Very Good. 12mo.
