Wolf Bible

The Holy Bible, Containing the Old and New Testaments,
Philadelphia, William W. Harding, 1868.

This Bible is in fair condition. The binding has completely
separated from the text. The spine was overlaid with some
contact paper that looks like leather. The text appears to
be in one piece, except for the photograph section, which
was removed.

The script is nicely done in calligraphy. I expected it to be
signed by an artist of the era, but it is not.

There are some items in this Bible -- a modern 23rd Psalm
woven bookmark, a tract, a piece of lavendar ribbon, and a
paper needlepoint bookmark that reads Eddie J. Wolf 187[?],
a bookmark that reads "Your Father Knoweth", and a dark
purple ribbon.

This family is found in the Lehigh County, Pennylvania 1880 US
Federal Census. Allen is a blacksmith. There is another child,
a daughter named Mary J. who is not listed in this Bible who was
born around 1870.
