THE HOLY BIBLE. The Authorized or King James Version of 1611... Volume I: Genesis to Kings; Volume II: Chronicles to Malachi

(London: The Nonesuch Press, 1963).

A very appealing version of the Bible--the traditional King James text finely printed in single column, and with the addition of Salomon's woodcuts, which lend a historical feel to the volumes. It was designed by Sir Francis Meynell to be an exceptional combination of handiness, legibility and beauty. The set is printed on a fine India paper made especially for this edition to Sir Meynell’s specifications and bound in a fine green linen also produced especially for Meynell. Item #24978

2 volumes. First edition, limited, of the octavo printing designed by Francis Meynell. Profusely illustrated with reproductions of the fine 16th century woodcuts of Bernard Salomon. Tall 8vo, original fine green linen decorated in gilt on covers and spines. xxvii, 700; iv, 806. A very pleasing set, with just the lightest touch of wear to the tips and edges.
