About This Item
John Baskerville, 1769. First Thus. Leather Binding. Good. A good copy of Baskerville's first illustrated Bible (following his earlier 1763 edition). A good copy of this folio edition in full period split calf, spine with 6 raised bands and red morocco label, boards panelled and tooled in blind in what appears to be a Cambridge style (the binding is quite heavily rubbed with chipping, loss and stains to spine, chipping and staining to leather on covers; boards heavily rubbed with rounded corners; front and rear free endpapers lacking; frontispiece has heavy dampstaining with some offset to title page; leaf at Genesis V/VI has some creasing and marginal chipping with loss to running heads and notes at foot; some foxing, smudges, soiling, wear, etc.). 7 plates present (the frontispiece and 6 plates in text), which means this copy is lacking at least one and possible two.
