A production binder and hand-drawn illustrations from George Stevens' biblical epic The Greatest Story Ever Told. Department heads used binders to maintain continuity on their budgets and responsibilities throughout production.

The red leather, three-ring, metal-boundbinder is marked as the property of the film's prop master, Sam Gordon. It contains detailed breakdowns of the film's shooting schedule, cast, props, and locations, as well as many visual reference photos. The 21 illustrations contain hand-drawn sketches of many of the film's key props, including Jesus Christ's (Max von Sydow) crucifix and the Holy Grail.

The binder and illustrations are in fair overall condition with some signs of wear, including discoloration and tearing to the pages.
