I've seen my version on ebay with blue edging instead of red, but that's about all I know I'm afraid. Jack Hayes did other Biblical illustrations for a magazine, but it's interesting to see that the Jade edition had 31 illustrations, whereas my original copy (Ruby) had only 17, with that reduced to 15 in later editions. It would be interesting to see if a modern version of this Bible is still published today.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-30028138178336888392021-09-14T23:20:34.115+01:002021-09-14T23:20:34.115+01:00I have an edition called the Jade addition and I c...I have an edition called the Jade addition and I can't find anything online about this bible other than your web page.

It was the Ruby edition I had (and have), though I seem to remember the illustrations looking more 'photographic' than my current edition, but that was probably the power of suggestion on my young mind by the use of the word 'photogravure'.

I swear I've seen his art in other children's books.
