Note: Identified by the collector's stamp, book binder and collector James Gibbs' point of fame is to have compiled the 'Kitto Bible' for more than thirty years, adding some 30,000 illustrations to a Bible published in 1838, enriched with notes by John Kitto. This Bible, which a contemporary prospectus described as 'the largest and most elaborately illustrated Bible in the world', contained specimen Bibles from the 15th and 16th centuries, illuminations, nearly 3,000 original drawings and prints, including the greatest masters (Rembrandt, Dürer). It is now kept at the Huntington Library, San Marino, California.
