Summary: "Disputed Handwriting" by Jerome B. Lavay is a comprehensive examination of the science of handwriting analysis and forgery detection written in the early 20th century. This pioneering work addresses critical techniques for identifying forged signatures and presents methods and considerations vital for bank officials and business professionals dealing with the genuineness of signatures, a matter that significantly impacts financial transactions.
