The Beautiful Baskerville Bible

from Celebrate the Bible Hosted by Francis Douglas

The Baskerville Bible, printed in 1763 by John Baskerville, is noted for its typography rather than traditional illustrations. It is one of four monumental Bibles in history and is linked to Benjamin Franklin, who defended its typeface against critics. Baskerville's work emphasized letter beauty, despite his personal skepticism towards religion.
