The large title font looks familiar but I can't quite place it. Looks like one of those Edwardian revival styles of the 60s... Anyone got a clue?

I think Romana might be a closer match than Hawthorn.
Andrew, I agree the proportions of Romana look closer, but the weights of Romana that match this have a flat top on the A, and the R leg angle seems different, I think maybe A.J. is right that this is Hawtorn that has been graphically manipulated into this shape.
At least all the MyFonts versions of Romana I saw had these differences.

I think that it is someone's version of Devinne. Not the ornamental Devinne, but the boldface of Romana that ATF created and called Devinne - and other foundries mimicked. Opti, for one, offered a version years later with the pointed top to the 'A' and downward vee of the 'M' - as well as that 'R' as an alternate.
Jeff Levine's Hand Stamped JNL Regular is a deliberately crude and inexact version of this.
Here's the Wooden Type version of that DeVinne you were talking about. This is probably the actual answer, but I am saying this without putting them side to side.
