SPECIAL 'WESTMINSTER BLUE' LIMITED EDITION IN DARK TEAL BLUE WITH DEEP TURQUOISE RIBBONS - COMES WITH UNIQUE ART PRINT

One copy per household.

This sumptuous dark teal blue highland goatskin LIMITED EDITION of the KJV 63 Longprimer Sovereign comes with a Limited Edition print of a specially commissioned watercolour entitled ‘Westminster View’, painted from United Nations Green immediately opposite Westminster Abbey by artist John Walsom, a member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. John also painted the watercolours featured in our previous Royal Palaces series.

Westminster is the seat of government for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and every coronation of an English monarch since William the Conqueror in 1066 has been held at Westminster Abbey, as well as many Royal weddings and funerals down the ages. The translation committee of the King James Version Bible met in the Jerusalem Chamber at the Abbey in 1611, to read through the full Bible text in order to assess its suitability for reading in church.

Bound in a rich dark teal blue highland goatskin, leather-lined in a matching dark teal, this unique Bible also features red under gold page edges, gold embossing on front and spine and double gold gilt lines inside, three vibrant turquoise ribbon markers, presentation pages and family record in Allan's design, dictionary of proper names, subject index, concordance, 32 pages of lined writing paper and 16 pages of Oxford Bible maps.

First printed in 1952, the King James Version Longprimer Bible is a sumptuous, traditional reference setting of the Authorized Version. Developed by Oxford University Press and now published exclusively by R. L. Allan, it has for many years been our flagship Bible, renowned the world over for its clarity of type and our beautiful bindings.

The Longprimer Sovereign edition retains the same clear type as the standard Longprimer but is printed on a 40gsm writable Bible paper with the highest levels of opacity, and increased margins (one inch on outside and bottom edges) to show the text block off to greatest effect and further enhance the reading experience.
