First Edition of Histoire Illustree de L'Eglise, Volume 1 of a 2 volume set by Georges de Plinval. 519 pages, mostly black & white illustrations. There are a small number of color illustrations that are glued in place. This book is in the French language. I believe it was published in Switzerland in 1948. The book pages are very clean and undamaged. It is accompanied by a letter from S.G. Phillips, Inc, publisher, dated May 27, 1968 wherein they decline to publication and dissemination of this work. They were perhaps shopping for an English language publisher. Size is about 11-1/2" x 8-1/2".
