1812 Stereotyped Bible

Here are pictures of the first stereotyped Bibles printed here in the United States.  The Bible was printed in 1812 from stereotype plates produced from Britain.  The stereotyping process became the standard for printing Bibles from this time forward.  It allowed for a greatly increased amount of Bibles/portions, etc to be produced in less time.
