ABOUT
By the Chairman of Lloyd's Brokers' Association and the author of "Seaborne Trade", this is a comprehensive, narrative history of Lloyd's from its 17th century beginnings in Edward Lloyd's coffee house through its transformation into a modern, global insurance market.
They trace the development of underwriting practices, the rise of brokers and syndicates, and the institutional reforms that shaped Lloyd's distinctive structure. The authors weave together personalities, major losses, legislative changes, and the pressures of war and expanding trade, showing how Lloyd's adapted to shifting commercial realities.
Includes monochrome images and fine line illustrations.
