Cover of Bible
"We think it's a bible cover that's been handed down in the Burke family of Drumcole, Belturbet, Co. Cavan. It belonged to Seamus Burke, who was the youngest of seven sons and a great family friend. Since my husband was interested in geneology, Seamus thought my husband should have his collection upon his passing. He (Seamus) died in August, 2006 at the age of 80. This man Seamus Burke collected everything. The cover has the name Francis Vesey on the front and hinges to lock it shut. It says 'Bible' on the spine. There are lots of details on the cover, engravings on the front of Christian images and designs. "
