How to identify this edition
These points tell this edition apart from other printings and editions of The Plague.
✓ Copyright page: “This translation first published in 1948” under “‘La Peste’ was first published in France in 1947”
✓ Title page: Hamish Hamilton, London; translated by Stuart Gilbert
✓ Dust jacket: pictorial design by Michael Ayrton — a dead rat under the torn-paper title, red sun on black
✓ Price: 9s. 6d. net (9 shillings 6 pence) at the foot of the front flap (unclipped); later impressions in the same jacket can carry it too, so the price alone doesn't prove a first
✓ Binding: blue-green cloth, spine stamped in silver and lettered in red
