[Rarebooks] FS: 1840-50 Miniature Children's Bible Railway to Heaven - T. Goode of Clerkenwell

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

"The Illustrated Bible, also verses Entitled Railway to Heaven. "

Published in Clerkenwell by T. Goode on Aylesbury Street. No date, but 
probably late 1840s or early 1850s.

A charming and uncommon early edition of this miniature Bible which was 
reprinted numerous times into the 1860s. Subsequent editions had 48 
pages, but this shorter version appears complete, with each page of text 
matching the opposing woodcut and the front and rear cover being a 
single sheet.

Softcover. 1.5"x2.5", 12 leaves, stab-sewn to make 23 pages- 12 
full-page woodblock illustrations and 11 pages of text, plus the cover. 
Some wear and soil, interior leaves separated from the string binding, 
some slight chipping. [42632]  $50
