The Illustrated Bible Story Book: New Testament

The book shows significant wear consistent with its age. The cover has noticeable scuffing, and the spine edges are frayed. There is no dust jacket. The pages inside are intact but have some tears and signs of aging. Despite these flaws, the illustrations remain clear and the binding holds firm, making it a readable and collectible piece.

The Illustrated Bible Story Book: New Testament, authored by Seymour Loveland and published by Rand McNally & Company in 1925, is a beautifully illustrated collection of Bible stories retold for children. This edition, illustrated by Milo Winter, offers vivid storytelling paired with captivating visuals, making it an engaging introduction to New Testament narratives. Published in both Chicago and New York, this book is a testament to early 20th-century religious children's literature. While the exact edition is not specified, the 1925 publication date suggests it is among the earlier versions. Loveland’s work, supplemented by an introduction from Katharine Lee Bates, is a valuable find for collectors of religious and children's books. The book's condition reflects its age, with notable wear on the cover and spine, but the internal pages remain intact, preserving the artistry and storytelling within.
