This is the entire collection of his art which were published individually on the Old Testament Bible, which is pretty amazing! Measurements: 9 x 7 x 2.5 inches thick! This is the large version not the more common small one. Condition: Generally clean but with a light staining on edge of pages at top margin edge/corners on a few pages and at side when book is closed only. Some creasing, as shown to initial and last few pages only, and some edge ripping to those pages only. The family page, records ledger, and presentation pages are all blank and have not been filled out yet so they are available to so be done by the purchaser of this book. The entire book is free from any writing inside. Please note that as shown some areas seem to show rubbing and/or wear of the silver plate coating as is normal for silver ware of this age, however it is mostly at the edges. This is one of the best conditions that I have seen of one of these.
