Christelyke Onderwyzingen en Gebeden, a 19th-century Dutch-language Catholic prayer book printed in Turnhout by Brepols en Dierckx, Zoon, one of the major Catholic publishing houses of Belgium. The binding is the draw here. Full dark leather, blind-stamped crucifix on the front board, gilt spine, marbled endpapers, and gauffered gilt edges tooled with religious and ornamental designs including the IHS monogram. Working metal clasps are engraved with initials and the date 1842, likely an ownership or presentation date. Bears the Met goedkeuring ecclesiastical approval typical of Catholic devotional printing of the period.
Full leather binding with rubbing, scuffing, surface wear, and corner wear. Spine remains legible with gilt title and ornament, with additional wear at the head and foot. Metal clasps are present and close properly, with age-related tarnish, oxidation, and engraved markings. Gauffered gilt page edges show tooling and decoration with some darkening and handling wear. Marbled endpapers are present. The first page is loose, as shown in the photographs. Pages show age toning, scattered foxing, light soiling, and some edge wear. No complete page count has been verified, so completeness is not guaranteed beyond what is visible in the photographs.
