A First Edition of this amazing book. The Zoology of the Bible by Harland Coultas.
This is a first edition given to a Mary C Osborne on Valentines' Day in 1877 by an unknown admirer.It is signed again by someone in 1917 but I cannot make out the name.
For those who know the book then whatever I say about it they will already know. So all I will say is it is beautifully illustrated and has references to every animal in the Bible. It is printed by Wesleyan who have been printing Bibles for hundreds of years. I can find no tears, but the pages are changing colour and smells musty which I would imagine is purely because of its age - nearly 150 years old.
Please take a good look at the pictures as they form part of the description, and bear in mind that it is second hand so will not be perfect. If you have any questions, like to see more photos or come and see it, then please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Born from the vision of two people, two worlds, two cultures in the 1950s, so I am taking their vision and running with it. I have this website and premises so thought 'why not?'
Antique, Old, Traditional, Aged, Vintage, Dated, Period, Historical, Retro, Pre-loved - they are all words to describe what? Nowadays too many items are defined as something they're not, so as we were told if you find something you like or mayhap even love, then buy it. Your choice - it's too late when they’re gone.
Please browse this part of my website, but note I have so much more at my premises, if you would like to visit then please do not hesitate to Contact Becci.
Most items in this section are pre-loved so will have some wear in one form or another. Many have never been used ‘new’ but I have had them a while. All the items and their conditions have been described as accurately as possible. The photographs are part of those descriptions.
Please keep coming back as most of the items are from my own family collections and I have so much which needs to be parted with. it will take a while for me to put them all on here. Why not come and see them?
I am open to sensible offers.
