BOWYER BIBLE PRINTS: THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY  This image-collection contains prints illustrating the Book of Deuteronomy in the Bowyer Bible in the sequence in which they are arranged in this grangerised version of the Macklin Bible. The artists represented here had no doubts about the historical veracity of the events delineated; this, together with their lack of the knowledge about historical dress and middle eastern topography which only became prevalent a hundred years after the creation of this collection makes the artworks curious as well as compelling. Robert Bowyer (1758-1834) spent a fortune on his own copy of the Macklin Bible which he expanded to 45 volumes after acquiring and inserting over 6200 different prints of Biblical events. He had a custom designed bookcase built just to house his collection; The Bowyer Bible is now housed in Bolton Museums and Archives who acquired it in 1948. These and many other of the illustrations have been made available online via social media by Phillip Medhurst (b.1948).
