This is an exceptional, investment-grade example of the Oxford Self-Pronouncing S.S. Teacher’s Edition Holy Bible (King James Version). Printed at the University Press in London and distributed via the New York warehouse at 91 & 93 Fifth Avenue, this volume dates to the late Victorian era (circa 1896–1902).

What sets this piece apart is its extraordinary state of preservation. Most Bibles from this era were used daily until the bindings failed; this copy appears to have spent the last 125+ years protected and unopened.

• Exterior: The black flexible leather binding is in stunning condition. It is still soft and supple, with no "red rot," crumbling, or significant wear. The gold gilt lettering on the spine is bright and sharp.

• The Gilt: The page edges retain their brilliant gold luster.

• The Pages: Inside, the paper is remarkably crisp, white, and stiff. It lacks the typical "old book" foxing (brown spotting) or musty odor.

• Markings: The text is 100% clean—no underlining, no highlighting, and no family history ever entered. There is a small, light pencil price and a previous owner's name in pencil on the front endpaper, but the Bible itself is a blank slate.

• Binding: Still has the tight "snap" of a new book. The corners are sharp and the structural integrity is 9/10.
