Victorian Era Holy Bible
Unique Bible published by Eyre and Spottiswoode, "Printer's to the Queen's most Excellent Majesty." No date is listed, but Queen Victoria's reign was between 1837-1901.
The Bible is small hardback covered in light green felted fabric (much of the felting has worn off) and some sort of celluloid, in which are flowers and the words, "Holy Bible." Very scarce. I was unable to find another one like it online.
A handwritten card is tucked into the Bible and reads, "Dear Carol: When I was a youg woman, I happened to see this little Bible in Mr. Sim's drug store. It had such an unusual binding that I could not resist it, and so i bought it. Now I am giving it to you, hoping you will like it. Love and, a Merry Christmas. Aunt Julia." The date 1885 is added in a different color of pen.
As pictured, there is splitting of the binding between some pages. A few pages in the very end and very beginning are loose, but no pages appear to be missing.
