5 B  Ca.1884 King James Bible 

Note

The 1884 King James Bible represents a continuation of the enduring legacy of the Authorized Version first published in 1611, revered for its majestic language, poetic rhythm, and profound influence on English literature and Christian worship. Often finely bound and printed with decorative flourishes, editions from this period were treasured family heirlooms, frequently including illustrated plates, maps, and family record pages. This Bible reflects the 19th-century reverence for Scripture as both a spiritual guide and a cultural cornerstone, maintaining the King James Version’s role in shaping religious life, moral instruction, and literary tradition in English-speaking households across generations.
