About This Item
Franklin Center, PA: The Franklin Mint, 1974, 1975. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Quarto, 1480 pages, sculpted sterling silver covers, in velvet chemise, in publisher's clamshell paper box (scuffed), with its quarto Prospectus, octavo Supplementary Notes, typed letter from the Mint, Suggestions for the Care of Your Franklin Mint Family Bible, and a special leather bookmark (but lacking the silver polishing cloth). Calligrapher's inked name for the original purchaser in the Family Records preceding the Bible. Note: WorldCat cites only one copy of this.
This is the very special, deluxe edition of the King James Version of the Bible in English, in a very special binding containing 12 ounces of sterling silver, with a cross on top and bottom, on the top are the sculpted images of the Four Evangelists: Mark, Matthew, Luke and John. The design was done by Barcelona silversmith, Oriol Sunyer. The illustrations are reproduced - for the first time in a printed book - from the priceless original manuscript in the British Library, which was executed in the mid-14th century. "As the most extensively illustrated of all surviving medieval psalters, the Queen Mary Psalter is a unique treasure. ... The Queen Mary style is one of the three main styles of English painting in the Middle Gothic period, which encompasses the years 1280 - 1380. ... Of particular interest in the development of the Queen Mary style is the fact that it can be traced to a single artist, the Master of the Queen Mary Psalter."

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
