Rich Bible

The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments,
Philadelphia, Kimber and Sharpless. Someone has
handwritten 1824 on the title page, and that does
look accurate. The original binding is consistent
with early K&S Bibles (which were published between
1823 and 1842, before selling out to Jesper Harding).
It also matches the description in Hills -- with
Apocrypha and no Concordance. I would say it is a
Hills #486.

The covers are present but detached, and the
signatures are broken in three parts, including the
spine. However, the pages are all present and in
excellent shape. It could be beautifully rebound.
