Life Insurance Fundamentals Appraisal

Life Insurance Fundamentals by Griffin M. Lovelace (Revised Edition)

This item is the title page of a vintage book titled "Life Insurance Fundamentals," authored by Griffin M. Lovelace, prominently noted as the "FORMERLY DIRECTOR OF THE LIFE INSURANCE TRAINING COURSE, NEW YORK UNIVERSITY." The page itself is crafted from an off-white or light cream-colored paper, which displays a gentle, natural patina consistent with its age, yet it remains in a good, well-preserved condition with no apparent significant tears, prominent stains, or distracting creases visible in the image. The text is crisply printed in black ink, utilizing a clear, bold, seriffed typeface for the main title, while details such as the author's name and affiliation are presented in a slightly smaller, highly legible seriffed font. A distinctive publisher's colophon, an intricate shield-like emblem, is centrally positioned below the author's information, a common feature of books from established historical publishing houses. The designation "REVISED EDITION" at mid-page signifies that the content has been updated or revised from an earlier printing. The book was published by Harper & Brothers, a renowned publishing firm with locations in New York and London. Based on the classic typographic style, the visible quality of the paper, and the publisher's historical presence, this book is estimated to date from the early to mid-20th century. The sharp, professional printing throughout the visible page indicates a high standard of craftsmanship for a non-fiction publication of its era.
