A 1640 printed play, The Ladies Priviledge by Henry Glapthorne, printed in London by John Okes for the bookseller Francis Constable and sold from his shops in Kings Street and Westminster Hall for readers of the period. The first picture is a decorated woodcut initial Y beside dense black-letter text, and the second is a marbled endpaper with a small armorial bookplate and a library label, so a designer might take the ornate capital and the marbled paper as period patterns for borders and type.
