This uncommon biblical thematic chart was developed by Rev. G. Larkin and revised by Rev. I.N. Earle. The chart depicts the life of Jesus Christ color-coded for time and location as well as for the book of the Gospel from which the events are taken. Quite an unusual and fascinating piece, including a map of Jerusalem and Palestine to assist with referencing the chart. It folds into hard covers (4.6 x 6.5") with gilt-stamped title, with a 16-page booklet that further explains the use of the chart.
