The fatal contract, a French tragedy : as it was acted with great applause by Her Maiesties Servants
A 1661 London play text, printed for bookseller Richard Gammon near Exeter House in the Strand, by William Hemings and once owned by Thomas Pennant Barton; the only picture is a small oval coat of arms with a lion crest, a chequered shield and a Latin motto around the rim. A designer might take from it a compact heraldic emblem, with its oval frame, crest and shield divisions, as a model for a bookplate or seal mark.
