The 1857 Holy Bible and Book of Common Prayer, represents a significant expression of Victorian-era religious devotion and publishing artistry. This edition typically includes the King James Version of the Bible alongside the Book of Common Prayer—the foundational liturgical text of the Church of England—both of which played central roles in English-speaking Christian worship. Rich in poetic language and moral instruction, the volume offered not only sacred scripture but also structured prayers, services, and psalms designed to guide daily and communal worship. Highly prized as a family heirloom, many copies were ornately bound in leather and gilt.
