The Cambridge Family Chronicle Bible has been designed and produced as a Bible to enjoy for generations. It combines the best typographic design with the highest standards of printing and bookbinding. The majestic text of the King James Bible is presented in a typesetting inspired by the legendary Baskerville Bible, and the words of Scripture are brought to life with 221 engravings by 19th century illustrator Gustave Doré - painstakingly reproduced for this edition from the original printings. Drawing on the glories of the past, but looking to the future too, the Bible incorporates a unique 14-page family chronicle, allowing owners to record up to six generations of family history and tell their family story for years to come. The Bible is printed on paper selected for its strength and durability and flaunts exquisite marbled endpapers specifically commissioned for this edition. The binding pays tribute to traditional bookbinding style, with ornate tooling on the front and back covers, and raised spine hubs. A collector's edition, this Bible has been produced with a limited run of 500 copies and each edition has been individually numbered and is presented in a cloth-bound solander box.
