Wow!  This mechanically scrolling, illustrated bible study comes with maps of the Middle East and shows Jesus's journey from birth to crucifixion, as recorded in the Gospels.  The pages are slightly yellowed, but that is to be expected from a book published in 1896.  Colorful maps, and a scripture questions and answers section would have made my years in Catechism so much easier, had I had access to this.  This is a hard cover case that opens up into a stand.  The crank key stows neatly in a little compartment inside, and removes easily to attach to the thingy that allows you crank, thereby, scroll down, as you study the scriptures.  It is all in remarkable condition.  There are two colorful prints at the top when you first set it up, and they are attached to a fabric so you can flip them over and reveal the window where the scrolled media appears.  Well, the first one is not attached.  I put a piece of tape on the back briefly to take the picture.  The first print says COPYRIGHT 1896, POWERS BROS. on the bottom left, and on the bottom right it says REPRODUCED BY PHOTO COLORTYPE CO. CHI, & N.Y.  It is a print of Cherubs holding a scroll that says "The Royal Scroll".  The second print is a map that is labeled "General Map of the Countries Mentioned in the Bible".  When that is flipped over, the window is revealed that scrolls by when the crank is turned.  The opening "slide", if you will, is entitled "AN ILLUMINATED LIFE OF CHRIST INCLUDING THE PRINCIPAL EVENTS.  A COLLECTION OF THE WORLD'S MASTERPIECES. "  It is my understanding that these have been used by missionaries to teach Christianity in foreign countries. Aside from the first print not being attached, it is excellent condition.  There are no torn pages.  The most wear is on the bottom of case that is in contact with whatever surface it sits upon. This is a great display piece for the collector!  It measures apprx. 17" x 16" x 2" and weighs 5 lbs 9 oz. on my postal scale.  A very similar one to this is listed on a bookseller website for $1500.00, but I'm starting this auction at a low, give away price!  Please ask questions or for more pictures, if you would like.
  • Condition: Some wear on the bottom of the case. The first picture that flips over is not attached to the fabric, but that does not affect the scrolls which have the crank and the mechanism works great!
