Philadelphia: A. Gorton & Company, 1881. Leather Bound. Good. Folio - over 12 - 15" tall. Folio. Variously paginated. Hardcover bound in full embossed leather with cover designs on raised panels in elaborate gilt. The binding is rubbed and worn. The spine is sunned and a bit dried, and the front hinge is starting at the top (the beginnings of a crack can be seen at the top two inches). All edges gilt. The text block is sound. The text is toned but generally clean. The last leaf is detached but present ("List of readings and renderings preferred by the American Committee, recorded at their desire". The final page is for inserting famiily photos, but there are no family photos in this Bible. The Register before the New Testament shows that this was the marriage Bible for Charles Morton Southall and Ida M. Hester of Chicago, Illinois in 1892. The family settled in Florence, Alabama, and several births and marriages are listed in Florence up until the 1930s.
