Reflector, Companion and Guide to the Great Truths. Illustrating the diversities of human character, and the qualities of the human heart. Showing the pain and misery resulting from vice, and the peace and happiness arising from virtue. Do bad things? Ruin. Do good things? Bliss. The Bible Looking Glass. The Bible Looking Glass: Reflector, Companion and Guide. Barber & William Holmes Publisher: Bradley, Garretson & Co. Place: Philadelphia with branch listings across the U. What This Book Actually Is. This isn’t a Bible-it’s more like a Victorian visual theology + moral instruction book. Think of it as. A religious teaching tool. A family moral guide. A conversation piece loaded with engravings. Allegorical illustrations (like your “Youth? Manhood? Old Age” spread). Emblems and symbolic imagery. Short explanations tying images to scripture and life lessons. These were hugely popular in the 1860s-1880s when. Families wanted visual, instructive religious material. Books doubled as decor and moral signaling (Victorian version of a curated coffee table). The Binding (This Is the Star of the Show). Your copy has a publisher’s deluxe embossed leather binding with gilt decoration. Deeply paneled geometric design. Heavy gold stamping (still strong-big plus). “Thy word is truth”. Cross / salvation imagery. Gilt spine with starburst tools. This level of binding was not the cheap edition -this was a mid-to-upper tier gift book. Bradley, Garretson & Co. Illustrated moral and educational titles. These books were often. Displayed proudly in the home. Life When This Was Printed (1874 Snapshot). This book lands right in post-Civil War America. Early industrial mass printing = books like this became affordable. Emphasis on personal morality, discipline, and salvation. Books like this were used for family instruction and youth guidance. Big Events Around Then. Reconstruction era winding down. Panic of 1873? Economic depression. Rise of illustrated publishing (you’re holding a product of that boom). The Inscription (Nice Bonus). You’ve got a multi-generational inscription, which adds charm. “To my grandson. This book laid the foundation of my religious life as a lad of 14 years – 1875 – It is now sixty years since I first read this book. “. The original reader was around 1875. The inscription itself likely added c. Signed by a Rev. (clergyman)? Strengthens the book’s narrative appeal. This is exactly the kind of provenance buyers love-personal but not intrusive. Hinges intact (big deal on these). Gilt still visible and attractive. No major structural issues. Wear (expected and acceptable). Edge rubbing / corner wear. Surface scuffing to leather. Minor spotting on endpapers. Overall: Solid collectible condition -honest, not abused. Oh this book is. With dramatic, Victorian, “sit up straight or else” material. Here are some eye-popping excerpts and passages. The Big Visual Punch (Your “Voyage of Human Life” Plate). This is your showstopper spread. “The Voyage of Human Life”. Youth begins life amid “flowery scenes”. Manhood is tossed among “cares, temptations, and dangers”. Old Age drifts toward eternity, with “infirmities” and the final passage beyond. ? This is basically a 19th-century infographic of life. Uh oh, here it comes. Moral Hammer Lines (From the Emblems Section). These hit hard and sound great in a listing. “The Way of Holiness” vs. “The Broad Road to Destruction”. “The House Founded on a Rock”. “The Danger of Self-Indulgence”. Victorian authors did not do subtle. Every chapter title is basically a warning label. Short, Sharp Biblical Punchlines. From the imagery and captions. Thy word is truth. The rock of my salvation. These are paired with visual allegories-making the message feel almost like early propaganda posters for morality. The Dark Side (Great for Drama). Vice leads to “misery, ” “ruin, ” and shipwreck of the soul. Life without guidance drifts into “darkness, ” “peril, ” and destruction. Kids what not to do. They. Illustrated the downfall in detail. The Personal Inscription (Your Secret Weapon). This is honestly your most powerful excerpt. This book laid the foundation of my religious life as a lad of 14 years – 1875 – It is now sixty years since I first read this book, and its impressions are still with me. That’s not just writing-that’s lifetime impact in one paragraph. This turns your copy from. “Old religious book” into. A book that shaped a life-and was passed down.

Gorgeous old book in decent condition for age and composition. Some separation on front board as shown so I do fear if not handled with care the front board could come off. Foxing all over, beautiful type face and loads with stunning illustrations. Please use photos and zoom feature for most accurate condition. Be sure to check my other listings for more beautiful old books. Please get them approved before purchasing. Any questions must be answered before the sale. Almost everything I offer is old and has likely spent time in a basement or garage. I do my best to get back to everyone in a timely fashion. If you don’t hear a response within 48 hours please ask question again! Also, make sure to check my other listings for more great vintage finds- I will certainly do my best to work with you if you are purchasing multiple items. I love old things so I’m always hunting through auctions, flea markets & yard sales for the ultimate score. I often buyout entire estates, which is why I have such varied offerings. I love bringing the old and unique back to market & I’m constantly adding inventory so please check back often. You never know what I’ll find next!

God’s Kingdom On Earth-Antique Rare German Religious Book 1904 Illustrated. German Title: Gottes Reich auf Erden in Wort und Bild : oder, Die Geschichte des Alten und Neuen Testamentes und die Geschichte der katholischen Kirche bis auf die heutige Zeit / fur das katholische Volk hrsg. Details: About 700 pages. Lots of black and white line art illustrations. Both Old and New Testaments are represented in the illustrations. About 12 color plates on glossy paper. Almost 120 years old. Pages are brown with age but mostly clean. As far as I can see, there is no writing or underlining of any sort. Appears to be about the history of the Catholic Church along with stories from the Bible. It’s not in perfect condition, as can be seen in the pictures above, but in my opinion this is still fantastic condition for a book of this age. I would recommend this to religious scholars, Catholics of German heritage interested in Church/Christian history (provided you can read German), collectors of German and European religious art, church going Christians who wish to present the book to their church, or anyone who wants to show off a pretty book to their friends. I have tried to show as much of the book as I could in 12 slots, but this is hardly sufficient, so please ask for more photos. Edit: The white square in the 5th picture is a sticker mark, which I have not elected to remove through chemicals or otherwise. This item is in the category “Books & Magazines\Books”. The seller is “acher_3222″ and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.
