BUNYAN, JOHN:  The Pilgrims Progress from this World to that which is to Come, delivered under the similitude of a dream.  With Memoir and Bibliographical Notes.  Illustrations by W. Gunston and others.  The Elstow Edition.
London:  John Walker, 1881.
Illustrations.  8vo, pp.viii:383, publishers full brown morocco, spine blocked in gilt within raised bands, all edges gilt,  both covers inset with large oak panels within gilt rules.  The upper panel lettered in gilt and with Bunyan's facsimile signature in gilt, with, within gilt rules, an applied photograph of a portrait of Bunyan, as issued.  Both front and rear panels lettered in gilt, "Warranted made of the Oak Taken from Elstow Church previous to Restoration 1880".  Upper fore-corner of lower cover rubbed, some other light rubbing.  The applied photograph a little 'bubbled';  generally in very good condition and, as such, especially rare.  The front fly-leaf inscribed, "Mary Ann Roach with Aunt Isabella's love & best wishes 1881".
NOTE:  The publisher's preface to this work states:  " The origin of the Elstow Edition of the 'Pilgrim's Progress' may be briefly told.  The ancient Church whose bells Bunyan loved to ring, had long been in a state of dangerous dilapidation, and at Easter of the present year (1880), it was found necessary to replace the roof and to a considerable extent re-build the walls.  Most of the wood-work was found unfit for further use (the oak beams having done duty since 1530), and it was suggested to the Vicar and Churchwardens, that as the old material possessed a value in the eyes of thousands far in excess of its intrinsic worth, it was desirable to utilise it in such a way that the restoration fund might be largely increased, and at the same time an opportunity be given to the public of becoming possessed of a genuine and unique souvenir of the 'Immortal Dreamer'.  A proposal was then made to us which resulted in the purchase of all the old timber ....... it was decided to publish a new edition of the 'Pilgrim', and to work up the best portions of the wood in the binding ..... The Portrait on the cover is photographed from the original pencil sketch by White, in the British Museum, which is undoubtedly the most authentic likeness in existence ..... the beautifully executed pencil sketch, of which the public now for the first time possess a facsimile, was drawn to be engraved as Frontispiece to the Third Edition of the 'Pilgrim', published in 1679.  The artist, R. White, was an intimate personal friend of Bunyan, who is here represented in his prime ..."
