1795 Holy Bible 1ed Illustrated James Fittler Cabinet CHILD KILLERS Bible ART

1795 Holy Bible 1^ed Illustrated James Fittler Cabinet CHILD KILLERS Bible ART

First edition of James Fittler’s illustrated “Cabinet Bible”. This fine Bible is illustrated with 75+ engraved plates of art that resemble that of Durer, Rembrandt, Poussin and other “Old Masters” as the title suggests. James Fittler was a well-known 18^th-century artist, and this “Cabinet Bible” was the first to feature works of Fittler’s.

This 1795 first edition is notable for featuring the famous, perhaps infamous, error in Mark 7:27 reading – “let the children first be killed” instead of ‘filled’.
