The Robe - first illustrated edition 1947

by Lloyd Douglas

A nice, collectible first printing of the 1947 edition which, unlike earlier printings, is richly illustrated by Dean Cornwell. This is the story about the young Roman officer who gambles and wins Christ's robe. Later made into a movie that we have all seen!

Book is red cloth boards, gilt printing on spine and front board, with end papers illustrated with small portraits of the main characters. Minimal shelf wear, square corners, top-edge-inked. Numerous lush 2-page-width illustrations by Cornwell. 

Dust jacket is price intact at $5.00, would be fine, except for small blemish on front cover; fading to spine.
