Mount Pleasant Church Bible

Copy of a Family Bible printed in 1880, with custom-ordered embossed leather binding, with gilt decoration on front. Pasted on the inside of the front cover is a leather book label with gilt lettering that reads: " Presented to the Mount Pleasant Branch of Christ Church by the junior members of the church as a token of affectionate remembrance of a dear friend". This is likely in reference to Ena Stoddart, who moved away from the area after her marriage in 1888. This is likely the Bible that was presented in her honour, as reported in The Witness. The book contains many engraved illustrations, including a coloured frontispiece. At the back there is a board for family portraits, decorated with illumination and with the portrait spots left empty. The edges of the text block are also gilded.
