1868 Holy Bible | American Bible Society | Antique Pocket Bible with 1872 Inscription | Compact Size

A beautifully preserved 1868 Holy Bible, published by the American Bible Society, presented in an elegant small-format binding with gilt detailing to both boards and spine along with gilt edges to all sides.

Includes a period gift inscription dated May 1872, adding a layer of personal history and provenance. Such inscriptions often mark moments of significance—religious milestones, family gifts, or commemorative occasions—making this more than a text, but a tangible piece of 19th-century life. Also included is a leaf from the past as a page marker.

Full leather binding. Matching boards with gilt detail. Bindings tight. Wear to edges and corners, with rubbing to extremities consistent with age and use. Consistent with age and use. Attached silk page marker. The interior remains clean and with typical age toning. 955pp.
