Antique 1853 German Prison Reform Hymnal Prayer Book Missile Bible Christian Reformation Rehab Religious Active
Dated 1857 this is an antique German prison reform hymnal prayer book with blue velvet covers, silver filigree hinges, and an 1887 hand engraved presentation inscription inside the hinged latch. From what I was able to translate online it appears that this book was used as a religious reformation tool to reform German prisoners in the 1800s. It is intact and the inside pages are still in excellent condition. Pages are still quite pliable and not torn. Size is 7" by 4.5" x 7/8".
