An antique Swedish family bible 'Illustrerad Familje-Bibel' from Stockholm, Fröléen & Co. There were several editions at the time, but this one is from 1924. So this year this beautiful book celebrates its 100th anniversary. Everything in Swedish. First 16 pages with on the left full-page scenes with Jesus by C. Bloch and on the right a decorated page to write on (everything is blank). Then about 1252 pages (canonical books Old Testament, 228 pages (apocryphal books Old Testament) + index 12 pages, a color map of Palestine, 472 pages (New Testament), a color map of Palestine and Sinai, index 16 pages. With numerous full-page engravings by Doré and others and very numerous drawings, engravings and sometimes photos between the texts. Everything black and white. So it is a Bible with a lot of visual explanation (the locations, ancient writings and themes according to the subject in the texts). 24 x 31.50 x 9.50 cm, 6.750 kg. A leather binding with decorative relief and gilded titles. The page edges are also gilded. It is therefore a very neat and impressive work for the Swedish Christian families at that time. The leather binding has wear, especially at the edges and the hinge lines with the spine. Spine has some more wear at the top and bottom. 2 black spots at the top of the back cover. The book block is on smooth paper (except for the color maps on thicker paper) and has remained very beautiful. Will be shipped insured. Photos form an integral part of the description.
