Beautifully bound convolute with the Old and New Testament and a psalmbook for use in the Dutch Reformed Church, including the sheet music for playing and singing the different psalms. Although the three different biblical and religious works were not published at the same time, namely in 1870 and 1884, they were all published by the so-called Nederlandsche Bijbel-Compagnie, which was a joint between the Amsterdam Bible printer Brandt and a Haarlem Bible printer, namely John Enschedé.
This beautifully bound copy is a neat example of one of these Bible publications of the Nederlandsche Bijbel-Compagnie.
Binding a little worn (especially around the spine, edges and cornerpieces) the rings with some light wear, paper edges a little soiled, some soiling from the silver-plating on the endpapers. In good condition. Nederlandse Bijbels en hun uitgevers, 1477-1952 (1952), pp. 16-20.
