Brown) each opposite a subtitle page with large woodengraved border., All pages printed in red and black , in two columns, and within typographicals fillets. With pages of music scores. Missal has been in use up till the 1920's. Proof of that is an inserted printed addition of 1919. The book has been bound in 1853 or somewhat later (One addition is dated 1853, bound in at the end) Notwithstanding some very sparse foxing spots , a very good copy . BINDING Spine in contemporary red leather, raised and with gilt decoration and gilt title., covers in red velvet over wooden boards. Both covers decorated with large embossed silver roccoco ornaments, including silver border with corner pieces and 8 bosses. The frontal central cartouche figures the crowned Virgin Mary holding Jesus. The cartouche at the back represents Saint John the Evangelist. Endpapers in white satin, ,All edges chiselled and gilt. The lower silver border punched with the capilal letter B ( Brussels ?) and a double faced Janus head hallmark.The upper silver border punched with the capital letter B ( Brussels ?) and a Minerva head hallmark. Excellently preserved silver binding. According the previous owner the binding should be ascribed to the Mechelen silversmith F. Van Beveren. We have been unable to corroborate this. Fine example of a silver altar missal, in fine condition with hardly any traces of use, which is rare because these missals were in daily use during mass service in the Roman Catholic church. This missal can be considered as a sumptous highlight of the Roman Catholic church litugical books, a church which had regained strenght after the debacle of the French Revolution .…
