Very rare re-issue of the scarce States Translation of the Old and New Testament and also the psalmbook published at Utrecht by 'de Compagnie' booksellers in 1741. Unlike the first issue, the Bible is here enlarged with a series of 42 unsigned engraved plates from an unidentified source, all with 3- or 4-line captions (apparently not the series after the illustrations of Jan Luyken, also used by the same publisher). With only the undated engraved general title-page and no separate title-page for the Old Testament, but with separate title-pages for the New Testament and the psalms. With only a few minor spots. Binding also in very good condition, spine slightly worn. In very good condition. Not in: Darlow & Moule; NCC; STCN; WorldCat; cf. Darlow & Moule 3348 (1741 issue); Poortman, Bijbel en Prent I, p. 248; V. Eeghen & V.d. Kellen 441 (similar plates by Luyken).
