The Netherlands. Algemeene Maatschappij van Levensverzekering en Lijfrente. Steel. 10.25 x 8 inches. Imprint of American Bank Note Company, New York. One of the most visually striking plates in the present sale. This large piece was produced for this Dutch life insurance company which operated from 1881 until 1923. Probably used as a calendar header or perhaps artwork for a stock certificate, this plate features a lovely city view at center with large titles in a very attractive layout. Lovely flourishes around increase the aesthetic appeal. Very bright and somewhat reflective light steel gray with some mild gold toning.
Engraved Identification Number: SPECIAL V 44224 (C-570 crossed out).
Mark of John Sellers and Sons, Sheffield, England on back.
This interesting and worthwhile item, it is one of kind, item that may never be available again.
