Description: Captions: "Leaf from a Miniature Bible, 1919 A.D., Edinburgh: Nimmo, Hay and Mitchell, Ltd.; A miniature facsimile of the Robert Burns family Bible. The printing of small Bibles, generally known as 'Bijou,' 'Diamond,' or 'Thumb' Bible interested many printers from the early seventeenth century to the present day. Photo-engraving now makes any scale possible, but there is still remain technical difficulties in inking, printing, and binding these miniature Bibles."
