He moved to Edinburgh, via Paris, when he was 22 before becoming established at 32 Paternoster Row, London around 1846. In 1850, Kronheim acquired a license to operate the Baxter process. Kronheim found the Baxter process very time consuming and adapted the process, using zinc blocks instead of wood blocks. This, however, resulted in a flatter finish. He then turned to lithography for a short time, but soon returned to printing by the Baxter process. Oscar Frauenknecht acquired a stake in the business in 1852 and it is said that the firm had produced over 1000 different subjects using the Baxter process by 1854. They also produced a great number of prints for the Paris Exhibition in 1855 and at the end of the exhibition Kronheim sold his share of the business to Frauenknecht and retired to Germany.Kronheim's retirement did not last long and he was soon to be found trying to set up a printing business in America. These exploits were also short lived, and he rejoined Frauenknecht and his old firm, Kronheim & Co. in London, although this time, not as a partner. The firm continued to expand, opening offices in Manchester and Glasgow. In 1875 the firm stopped using the Baxter process, having installed steam litho machines. Kronheim retired again in 1887 and died in Berlin in 1896 aged 85 years.

19TH CENTURY BIBLE - OLD TESTAMENT - GREAT RUSSIAN . Russian Old Testament - Synod's version .
St. Petersburg, Russia, 1875 . 0
The First edition of the complete Old Testament in Russian, in a very good full leather binding. Thick 8vo. 23.5cm 15.7cm x 6.6cm. Dark green full calf with blind stamp decoration. Spine with four raised bands and gilt Russian titles. Edges and corners lightly rubbed. All page edges bright gilt. Original white endpapers (creased). Inner hinges carefully strengthened. General Russian title dated 1875. Clear Russian text in double columns. All pages lightly toned. The volume is made up of four parts, which were also issued separately, each with a separate title page (all dated 1875): Part 1 is the fourth edition of the Pentateuch - pp.320 (Darlow & Moule 7840); Part 2 is the third edition of Joshua - Esther - pp.496 (Darlow & Moule 7846); Part 3 is second edition of Job - Ecclesiaticus - pp.283 (Darlow & Moule 7854); and Part 4 is Isaiah - 3 Esdras - pp.509 (Darlow & Moule 7859). A very good copy of a scarce book. "The accession of the Tsar Alexander II. in 1856 made it possible for Bible-translation to be taken in hand again by the Russian Church. The Synod which assembled that year in Moscow, led by Philaret, Metropolitan Church of Moscow, passed a resolution that the translation of both Testaments into Russian was necessary, not for reading in the church, but for the better understanding of the scriptures. The Tsar confirmed this resolution; and the theological academies of St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kiev and Kazan were commissioned to arrange the work under general editorship of E. I. Loviagin, Professor of Greek in the academy at St. Petersburg." (see Darlow & Moule 7805). "Following upon the resolution of the Synod the Theological Academy of St. Petersburg appointed a committee to prepare a version of the Old testament. This committee consisted of M. A. Golubev (whose place when he died was filled by P. J. Savvailov), D. A. Chwolson. His version of the Old Testament was first printed in a magazine entitled Christianskoe Chtenie ('Christian Teaching'), 1860. The authorised version of the Old Testament was published at the Synod's press and issued in four instalments, dated respectively 1868, 1869, 1872, and 1875." ( See Herbert 7840). "As in the case of the Slavonic Bible, the order and number of the books in this and other editions of the Old Testament published by the Synod agree with those in the Septuagint." (See Herbert 7860).

By Iohn Fredericksz Stam..." Probably 1633 is the correct date, and copies were issued simultaneously, some with Barker's imprint and the date 1599, others with Stam's imprint dated 1633."

VICTORIAN BIBLE WITH BRASS CLASP - AUTHORIZED VERSION . The English Version Of The Polyglot Bible; Containing The Old And New testaments: With A Copious And Original Selection Of References To Parallel And Illustrative passages, Exhibted In A Manner Hitherto Unattempted...
London: Samuel Bagster and Sons, 15 Paternoster Row, [ no date - c. 1850 ]. 0
N.B. The date of publication has been estimated from the exclusion of Queen Dowager in the "State Prayers" (died 2 December 1849) ; details from A. S. Herberts, English Bibles; and the address for Samuel Bagster and Sons. 8vo. 6" x 1.5" . A very good original full leather binding. Dark full calf (with the texture of "shark skin") with simple blind-stamp decoration. Spine with 5 raised bands, blind-stamp decorated compartments and gilt titles. Each board edged in polished brass, with one central brass clasp with engraved initials: "L. M. P. 1851." (in working order, and with "Bagster" stamped to the reverse ). All page edges bright gilt. Original brown endpapers. Dedication in a neat hand to front free-endpaper: "Leila Mary Postlethwaite, from her affectionate Godmother... January 1st 1851." Bound with the bible is the "Book of Common Prayer"; Followed by the Old and New Testaments; and then the Psalms (no title page). Clean English text throughout, with a central column of references. The preface to the bible is signed "T.C." i.e. Thomas Chandler. The books of the Apocrypha are ommitted. In all the Bible contain 18 maps or plans (some with coloured outlines), signed "C. Cobley Sc." The pagination is: [10pp.]/pp.154/[10pp.]/pp.585/[3pp.]/pp.188/pp.72 Referenced by: Herbert 1628 (Bible) and Griffiths 1859 / 23 (but earlier unlisted edition). ** Samuel Bagster, the elder (1772-1851), founder of the publishing firm of Bagster & Sons, born 26 December 1772, was the second son of George and Mary Bagster, of Beaufort Buildings and St. Pancreas. He was educated at Northampton under Rev. John Ryland and after serving an apprenticeship with William Otridge, commenced business as a general bookseller on 19 April 1794 in the Strand, where he remained until 1816. He then moved to new premises at 15 Paternoster Row where the company stayed until 1850. A further move was then made to 14 King's Road, Bedford Row. The company traded as 'Samuel Bagster' from 1792 until1842. The name was then changed to 'Samuel Bagster & Sons'. Bagster had noted the rarity and consequent costliness of all polyglot bibles at the time, which gave him the idea of supplying the want of a handy and inexpensive edition. The production of English Bibles was a monopoly in the United Kingdom, confined in England to the King's printer and the two great Universities. It had been decided however, that the patent did not apply to bibles with printed notes. So, Bagster brought out 'The English Version of the Polyglot Bible', 1816, containing over 60,000 parallel references. The book was extremely successful, and was rapidly followed by versions of the bible in other various languages: Hebrew, Greek, Latin, French, German, Italian and Spanish. They were re-issued together in one volume entitled 'Biblia Polyglotta' in 1831. The popularity of Bagster's bibles led to 'The English Hexepla' in 1841, giving the six most important versions of the New Testament in the English tongue: Wiclif (1380); Tyndale (1534); Cranmer (1539); the Genevan (1557); the Anglo-Rhemish (1582);, and the authorised (1611), together with the Greek text and a very good historical account of the English translations.
