Prospectus and call for subscribers for a printing of the Bible by the Essex House Press that was never completed. Includes subscriber form to be mailed to the Guild of Handicraft.

The book was to be "printed throughout in the large type designed by Mr. C.R. Ashbee and ... under his personal supervision. ... The illustrations .. by Mr. William Strang"--Page 1.

In this copy the word "July" in the imprint has been crossed out and altered (in Ashbee's hand) to "Nov.". Also, an announced specimen page is not present. Both suggest that this is a proof for eventual printing. Cf. vendor note.
