<p>[QUOTE="2manycats, post: 9557693, member: 13761"]In the Victorian era, books were often sold in parts, so you could buy a chapter of Dickens's latest book for a shilling then have them all bound when (if) you got the whole thing. This appears to be a Bible produced on a similar plan, the big draw being the engravings, of which there would have been one in each part. Virtue was a big publisher of illustrated books, mostly scenery but also people. You can find copies of the complete devotional bible these are parts of on Abebooks and eBay, mostly in poor shape, mostly under $100.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
