The advent of the printing press encouraged the craft of books that the small, literate class valued well as works of art. In the late 19th century, several publishers sought to elevate the book back to a piece of artistry that would be cherished for generations to come, and used expensive leathers, gilt details, and elegant engraved illustrations to do so. These sumptuously bound special editions of bibles, encyclopedias, dictionaries, and poetry countered the popularity of cheaper, popular dime novels. One such example is this beautifully restored and exquisitely bound Brown’s Self Interpreting Family Bible, published in the early 1880s.
