This illustrated volume is a single book from a larger multi-volume set titled The Life of Jesus Christ by French painter J. James Tissot (James Joseph Jacques Tissot, 1836-1902). The work features a bilingual text arranged in parallel columns of Latin and English. The interior is profusely illustrated with reproductions of Tissot's watercolors, including full-page color plates and numerous black-and-white line drawings interspersed with the text. The binding consists of dark brown pebble-grained leather or leatherette over boards, featuring gilt-stamped titles on the front cover and spine. The front board is further decorated with a prominent gilt-stamped motif depicting a Latin cross entwined with a crown of thorns. This volume contains pages including 183 and 253, covering various biblical narratives such as The Pharisees and Sadducees Come to Tempt Jesus and Suffer the Little Children to Come Unto Me. Included with the book is a single-page typewritten biographical insert providing a summary of Tissot's career, his travels to Palestine beginning in 1886, and the history of the 365 watercolors that comprise this series, noting their acquisition by the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences in 1900. No publisher imprint or title page was visible during inspection, though the binding and content are consistent with editions produced by the Werner Company or McClure-Tissot Co. in the early 20th century.
