A propos de cet article

Published: n.d. [c1890-1910]. Oxford University Press 'Finger Prayer Book' offers a glimpse at private Edwardian devotion. Housed in its original full leather binding with gilt edges, this remarkably narrow volume was designed to be as portable as a gentleman’s watch or a lady’s perfume case. DESCRIPTION: Finger prayer book bound in full leather with gilt title to front [probable personal devotional BCP]. Gilt all edges Language: English Book Condition: Good. Light wear to corners, edges and spine ends. Loss of surface leather in places to rear fore edge. Partially cracked front endpaper. Hinges remain firm. Pencil annotation to verso of front endpaper. Clean unmarked pages. Tarnished gilt to page edges. DJ Condition: No DJ. Pages 77-599. Size: 9cm by 3cm.
