A very early 18th-century printing of the Reverend John Fleetwood’s The Life of our Blessed Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, published in 1767 in London. This antique book is a significant theological work which remains as a beautiful testament to the printing practices of the Georgian era.
The volume is notable for its collection of original, detailed engravings, which feature distinct plate impressions—a hallmark of authentic 18th-century book production. Despite its age, the text block remains solid and the prose entirely readable, retaining the scholarly and devotional depth for which Fleetwood's work was renowned.
While the book shows the character and wear of its 250-year history—including a detached front cover and expected foxing consistent with a volume of this age—it stands as authentic piece for any antique library.
