[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 9557883, member: 56"]There was a Virtue family that produced illustrated art journals in the 19th and early 20th C. I'm guessing there's a connection here, at least to the engravings. [URL]https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/term/BIOG61349[/URL] There's also a record of Virtue, Emmins and Roberts producing a Bible in 1850. [URL]https://mearto.com/items/1850-bible-published-by-virtue-emmins-and-roberts-london-and-new-york[/URL] This is conjecture, but the Virtue family, with its experience in periodicals, specifically art periodicals, would have been well positioned to produce a subscription series illustrated Bible, especially one drawn from an already published volume. It would be interesting to compare the 1850 Bible with these subscription issues.[/QUOTE]
