The horse and Rider are the same as in my print, but the background is different.  Is this commonly done with lithographs?  Thanks for your help.

« on: February 18, 2008, 10:48:02 pm »

I have a large Pictorial Family Bible, hard cover, super condition with no writing in it.  Printed by the National Bible Press in Philadelphia, PA. , It says it is the Self Pronouncing Edition. It says entered into the Library of Congress in 1892.  It says it was translated out of the Original Tongues and with the former translations diligently compared and revised; together with marginal references.  Conformable to the Edition of 1611. Commonly known as the Authorized or King James Version. 

It contains History of the Translation of the English Bible, The names and Order of all the Books of the Old and New Testaments with the number of their chapter, a very detailed Table of Contents listing a Chapter title to each chapter of every book of the Bible, a Ready Reference for Bible Readers, Doctrines of Christian Denominations, maps, Gallery of Scripture Illustrations, an account of The wanderings in the wilderness being an account of the forty years' sojourn of the israelites in the Desert by Rev. Edward H. Harper, D.D., Beautiful Full Color Prints of various Bible stories, captivating Bible Stories for Young People, Explanatory Key to the vowel and consonant sounds in the perfect self pronouncing Bible, Only Authentic Self Pronouncing Dictionary of the Proper Names in the Bible, The books of the Old and New Testaments complete with marginal references, A chronological Index to the Holy Bible, List of reading and renderings preferred by the American Committee, a complete and practical Concordance to the Old and New Testaments.

It is a beautiful piece of work and I wonder if any one would know the value of it?

I also have an american indian print by Columbian Colortype co.  Mine is of an Indian sitting upright on his solid black horse with his arms stretched outward as he looks to the heavens. The main color is blue.  Does anyone know the name of it?  Does anyone know if it is part of a series of American Indian prints and if so, how many and what there names are?

Hi!  I also have an american indian print by Columbian Colortype co.  Mine is of an Indian sitting upright on his horse with his arms stretched outward as he looks to the heavens.  I absolutely love the picture.  MY grandfather got it from his aunt and passed it on to my grandma, my mother and eventually me.  I am excited to know your print exists because maybe there was a series of American Indian prints.  the main color in mine is blue.  Is that true of yours as well?
