Anne,
I looked at the Getty Union List of Artists Online and found John
Bower, who lived in Philadelphia and was active 1810-1819. I believe
this is the artist you're searching for. The information is at the
following page:
http://www.getty.edu/vow/ULANFullDisplay?find=bower&role=&nation=&prev_page=1&subjectid=500012393.
I don't know much about Bibles, however, perhaps a rare book dealer in
Charlotte can be of some help to you.
Hope this is useful information for you.
