X138 – Bookplate with cross and “ex libris” text

Product Description

This is one of a series of ecclesiastical bookplates offered by the Antioch Bookplate Company in the 1940s through the 60s. This series was drawn by John Huchthausen, who was trained in architecture and religious art, and also drew the popular B211 gnome design. The “ex libris” text means “from the library of.”
