Private International Law Appraisal

Private International Law by G. C. Cheshire (Third Edition)

This item is the title page of a book titled "Private International Law" by G. C. Cheshire. The physical characteristics visible include the paper, which appears to be of a light cream or buff color, indicative of older paper stock, possibly aged over time. The text is printed in black ink, featuring a clear, sans-serif or thinly-serifed typeface for the main title, and smaller, more detailed serif fonts for the author's name, qualifications, and affiliations. The layout is centered, giving it a formal and academic appearance. Key information such as the author's impressive academic credentials (D.C.L., F.B.A., Vinerian Professor of English Law at the University of Oxford, Fellow of All Souls College) is prominently displayed, suggesting the book is a scholarly work. A notable feature is the indication "THIRD EDITION," which confirms this is not the first printing and suggests previous successful editions, implying the work's importance and established nature in its field. The publisher is listed as "OXFORD AT THE CLARENDON PRESS," a prestigious academic publisher, further affirming the book's quality and scholarly standing. Given it's a third edition and published by Oxford University Press (Clarendon Press imprint), the estimated age is likely mid-20th century, possibly 1950s or 1960s, though older or slightly newer is possible without a copyright page. The visible condition is good; the paper seems intact with no obvious tears, significant creases, or heavy foxing, although there might be slight discoloration consistent with age. There are no visible condition issues such as major wear, damage, or repairs indicated from this single image of the title page. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for academic press publications of the era, focusing on legibility and durability.
