"MORE INFORMATION." Before asking for more information, please understand that these pages dedicated to Bourne represent everything I currently know about him, his engravings, and the huge Doré prints. I don't have any hidden knowledge.
BIBLE ENGRAVINGS. Bourne created several engravings for one or more editions of illustrated Bibles. I have never seen any in person, but strongly suspect most of his Biblical prints are already listed among the engravings on this site. PLEASE report the titles of his engravings if you ever spot his engravings in any illustrated Bible.

Reliable references indicate Bourne made several engravings that appear in an 1864 Bible. I have not that particular Bible seen in person, so I cannot confirm.

I have discovered there are several editions of the The practical and devotional family Bible with identical titles, dates, and page numbers. The most common version by William Collins, Glasgow ("Collins edition") does NOT include Bourne engravings. I can definitely confirm there are different illustrations in the Yale and the Collins editions. I can also confirm at least two more editions appear under the same name and date with maps but no engravings. The Collins edition includes the following illustrations:
