The Indian emperor, or, The conquest of Mexico by the Spaniards. Being the sequel of the Indian queen. By John Dryden, Esq

Dryden, John, 1631-1700 · 1670 · London : Printed for H. Herringman · 4 pictures

This is a 1670 London drama by John Dryden, printed for the bookseller H. Herringman, a sequel to The Indian Queen about the Spanish conquest of Mexico. The four pictures are not illustrations but large decorative printed capitals, a T, X, O and a pair of letters M and E, in a bold serif face on cream paper, so a designer could borrow their heavy slab-like strokes and high-contrast letterforms for display type.
