One of the most beautiful editions of The Life of Jesus by the Rev. John Fleetwood that we have had the pleasure of offering. What makes it especially remarkable, however, is its collection of beautiful hand-coloured plates. Aren’t they magnificent?

This copy recently sold and will soon be making its way to one of our clients, but I wanted to share a final glimpse before it leaves our hands.

Lewis, whose journey from atheism to Christianity was sparked by George MacDonald’s prophetic view of God.
