This lot contains 1872 edition of The Complete Works Of John Bunyan, with an introduction by Rev. John P. Gulliver, illustrated edition, published by Bradley Garretson & Co, Philadelphia, deep maroon brown leather binding with deep embossed designs and gold gilt decorations and title on front, back and spine. In good overall condition, with wear on the cover as expected, see photos, this antique book is very heavy for its size, the cover bindings weighing probably more than the pages themselves. Book measures approximately 7" by 10" and is 2 & 1/2" thick. Facsimile will of Bunyan inside front cover, is in good shape. each illustration has a tissue over it for protection as well. Great book to read and for collectors, but also the engravings are worthy of framing if one dared to take this lovely book apart. 1015 pages. Gold gilt exterior page edges still shiny. In good condition and a rare find. Front cover lovely enough to display this on a stand. Engravings by A. B. Walter & others.
