The Cambridge Cameo with Apocrypha in Black Calfskin

Описание: An overview of the Cambridge KJV Cameo Reference Edition with Apocrypha, ISBN 978-1-107-60807-8, 9781107608078, KJ455:XRA. This Bible features a black calfskin cover, two red ribbon markers, art-gilt page edges, and the Apocrypha in a section between the testaments.

In the video, I compare the Cameo's typeface with those of the Allan 6C, the CBP Turquoise, a 1904 Oxford Brevier Clarendon, and a 1980s Cameo wide-margin. I also share some highlights from the Apocrypha, one of which involves a beheading. (No actual Babylonian or Assyrian generals were harmed in the making of this video.)
