1858 BEAUTIFUL Anglican Communion Prayer Book 1^edLords Supper 1662 Tower London

A rare and remarkably beautiful 19^th-century Anglican communion prayer book. This work was based on the handwritten book of common prayer from the 1662 copy in the Tower of London. The 1662 became the basis for most English printings of the Common Prayer as well as other liturgical texts for the Church of England.

Truly, this piece is a stunning work of Anglican liturgy and prayer bound in decorative ornate leather printed in the style of the 17^th-century original. Beautiful!
