Abstract:
This postcard is an advertisement for Viatical Benefits Foundation, Inc., a company that bought life insurance policies from terminally ill owners. In a viatical settlement the buyer pays more than the policy’s cash surrender value, but less than its net death benefit. The postcard features a young man dressed in a T-shirt and jeans. He is sitting on a white bench, leaning over with his right hand on his left knee and his forehead resting in his left hand. The image is in black and white, with Viatical Benefits Foundation, Inc. and its logo in blue.
