1834 1st/1st TINY BIBLE Illustrated Children’s Bible Stories Miniature Christian

1834 1^st/1^st TINY BIBLE Illustrated Children’s Bible Stories Miniature Christian

An absolutely incredible, early 19^th-century children’s Bible. “The Child’s Bible” is a remarkable piece – it is just over 2 square inches! It’s tiny! Though the size of book alone isn’t the only draw. It contains numerous full-page engravings – incredibly small, detailed Bible scenes!

This first edition printing is considerably rare as it is one of only FIVE recorded copies remaining worldwide!

This book’s vague authorship has long intrigued collectors, with some bibliographers attributing it to Harriet Beecher Stowe.
