A handsome diced calf Book of Common Prayer, with an owners inscription dating it to at least 1871. Mounted in brass, the front and rear boards are diapered with a star tool applied to each diamond in gilt.
It measures under 3" wide, and just at 4" tall, qualifying it for the label of macrominiature, although many collectors consider 19th century books, and older, under 4", simply "miniature".
