Product Description

The Bible has been designed and produced to be enjoyed for generations

The Cambridge KJV Family Chronicle Bible has been carefully designed and produced with a clear purpose in mind, to endure. All styles have been robustly crafted using a range of fine materials deliberately chosen for their strength and durability to allow the Bible to withstand generations of use within a family home.

Paul Gustave Louis Christophe Doré (1832-1883) was a well-known French artist. He was a painter, a sculptor, a skilled violinist and also an experienced mountaineer, yet his primary work was wood-engraving. He created 221 illustrations of the Old and New Testaments, all of which are included here. No other artist has created so many illustrations for a Bible, nor attracted such a broad audience for this type of work.

Doré's classic illustrations are here combined with the classic text of the King James Authorized Version which, along with the works of Shakespeare, is regarded as one of the foundations of modern English. The text is presented in a large clear font echoing that used by the famous typographer John Baskerville. The typesetters have sought to produce a page layout that is elegant and easy to read both publicly and privately, and the large print is suitable both for younger and older readers.

Features:

  • Featuring 221 reproductions of Gustave Doré's beautiful woodcut illustrations originally made for the 1866 La Grande Bible de Tours.
  • Extensive 14-pp multi-generational Family Chronicle, providing ample space for six generations of family members
  • Stunning cover art and exquisite tooling on leather editions
  • Historic King James Version text
  • Helpful chapter summaries
  • Large print in classic Baskerville font
  • Exquisite endpapers, unique to each binding style
  • Fascinating colour guide to the Making of the Edition
