Between the Covers

Unbound. Illustrated poster on paper. Approximately 22" x 35". Printed in brown with a large central illustration of Tyndale, pen in hand, translating the Bible by candlelight. In the upper right corner, Tyndale is shown burning at the stake. According to additional text, this was prepared for the 400th anniversary of the translation of the New Testament into English (sometime between 1522-1525 depending on whether they mean the completed translation, or the first publication, thus our attribution of date). Faint old folds, a couple of modest scrapes and tears, else near fine. The artist's signature, frankly not very clear to us ("Giona Aanani"?) appears in the plate lower right. A bold and stark image promoting the wider distribution of the Bible. *OCLC* locates no copies. We haven't seen another.
