About This Item

New York: Collins and Co, 1816. Collins's Stereotype Edition. Full leather. Good. Quarto, 932pp., frontis engravings to both the old and new testaments, index. -- Concordance dated 1815 and Separately paginated with indexed columns, pages 1-54 (ab-wh) complete, pages 55,56 (wh-?) has remnant but 80% gone. -- 3 maps, 2 frontis engravings, 7 engravings in the text. -- Title page lacks endpaper, frontis, title page and first couple pages fragile, as is the last complete page of the Concordance. Moderate foxing throughout. Binding exterior well worn. Internally sound. -- In 1815 the first American Stereotype Bible (first from stereotype plates made in the United States) was stereotyped and printed by D. & G. Bruce of New York. -- This Collins Stereotype Edition (1816) is the first quarto size bible printed in America by the stereotype process. In printing, a stereotype is a solid plate of type metal, cast from a papier-mâché or plaster mould taken from the surface of a form of hand set type. A stereotype could be made directly from typeset matrixes. This was especially advantages in book publishing. Book publishers no longer had to keep hand set galleys on hand in case of second or third runs of a book. The type could now be redistributed for other printing productions. The stereotype process was a critical part of a set of improvements that allowed printing to expand in scope: more words typeset, more pages printed, more copies produced.
