Mid-Century Modern White Leatherette Family Bible

This is a large-format edition of The Holy Bible, featuring a distinctive white or off-white textured faux-leather (leatherette) hardcover binding. The design is indicative of the mid-20th century, likely dating between the late 1950s and mid-1970s. The front cover is embellished with large, deeply debossed serif lettering for the title. To the left of the text is a striking graphic motif featuring a stylized blue elongated 'Star of Bethlehem' or cross, flanked by six gold-toned squares containing smaller star shapes. This mid-century modern aesthetic was common for family heirlooms of the era. The material shows a heavy imitation-pebble grain texture throughout. Regarding condition, there is visible minor shelf wear at the corners and a small dark circular stain/mark located near the serif of the 'H' in 'Holy'. The white color shows some slight overall aging or yellowing, which is typical for synthetic materials from this period. The craftsmanship is industrial but substantial, designed for tabletop display and frequent family reference. While the specific publisher is not visible without seeing the spine or title page, this design is characteristic of mass-market Protestant familial editions often distributed through regional publishers or memorial societies.
