Missal or Catholic prayer book bound in brown leather with gold embossed decor and lettering.
'Missel des catacombes'  with some engravings made by M. Méaulle inspired by the paintings of the Roman catacombs. The drawings engraved are by Ciappori et Merson.
Undated but there is the name of the first owner at the front embossed in fabric and the date 2nd June 1918.
Mostly in French. Some texts in Latin too.
Published by Mame in Tours, France.
The leather cover is in good condition with minor scratches.
The pages have a few stains here and there.
The gold edge of the paper block is still in great condition.
Little imperfections are always possible but I haven't noticed anything too serious.
Bookmark was torn at the end.
In a black case that is partially broken and stained inside. I have kept it to protect the leather.
