Description
EXODUS 7:6-8:28. “Moses Before Pharaoh”. FIRST EDITION. Great “She” Bible variant. Printed in 1611, published/titled 1611-1613, in London, by Robert Barker. Herbert 319. This leaf, being the printer’s first “correction” (spelling, spacing, and woodcut variations) already in 1611 extending to 1612 and possibly into 1613, is slightly distinct from the initial 1611 “He” variant, and distinct from all other 59-line folio edition. FINE condition; very light stain to inner corner; small brown spot to center top margin (see pics); with 1 WOODCUT initial. 15.4″ x 10.0″. COA on premium “gold leaf” paper w. signature and seal. Leaf and COA set in an Archival Booklet. This premium text recalls the initial “Exodus” demand of Moses to Pharaoh, “Let my people go!”, the Nile river turned to blood, and the plagues of frogs, lice, and flies.
