King James Bible Leaves

The famous printer, Christopher Barker, is responsible for this beautiful quarto edition of the King James Bible, printed in 1661 A.D. The pages themselves are hand made paper of 100% cotton rag and are in almost pristine condition, except for the slight and beautiful antiquing of the paper. The term cotton rag comes from the early days of printing when printers would buy rags from sellers in the street and then clean them and process them into paper - thus the term “cotton rag”. This edition of 1661 was probably used as a personal Bible. You will notice may unique spellings in the language of the time. Most noticeable is the use of a decorative “s” which looks very much like a “f” but if you look carefully you can see that on the decorative “s” the strike mark only goes to the left while on a “f” the strike mark goes all the way through. The red lines were hand drawn by a scribe before the Bible was bound. These Bible pages are from a Bible that was partially destroyed with missing pages and it could not be rebound.

King James Bible - 1777 A.D.

Framed size - 11x14

Revolutionary Bible - 1777 A.D.

The year was 1777 and America was in the middle of the War of Independence when this beautiful Bible was printed in England. George III was on the throne in England and George Washington’s troops were facing the winter at Valley Forge. The King James Bible, originally printed in 1611 A.D. and called the “Authorized Version”, was not printed in America until 1781 A.D. after the Revolutionary War because English printers owned a monopoly on printing the English Bible. Therefore, this personal size Bible was printed in England by the royal printers. The pages themselves are hand made paper of 100% cotton rag and are in almost pristine condition, except for the beautiful antiquing of the paper. This page is from a fragment of a Bible printed in 1777 that was partially destroyed with missing pages and it could not be rebound.
