Description

The Holy Bible (1836, Four Edge) is a historically significant edition of the Christian scriptures, often prized for its antique craftsmanship and detailed binding. The term "four edge" typically refers to the decorative treatment or gilding on all four sides of the book’s pages, including the top, bottom, and both side edges—sometimes with intricate artwork or marbling that adds to its uniqueness. Printed during a time of strong religious influence in the 19th century, this edition often features elaborate typography and may include illustrations or commentaries. Such Bibles are valuable to collectors, historians, and religious scholars for their aesthetic, cultural, and theological significance.
