Marriage a-la-mode. A comedy. As it is acted at the Theatre-Royal. Written by John Dryden, servant to His Majesty
A 1673 London comedy by John Dryden, printed by T. N. for Henry Herringman and sold at the Anchor in the New Exchange, the record gives no illustrations, so these are printer's ornaments: a dense woodcut vase-and-fruit border, a strip of heraldic-style scrollwork with crowns and fleur-de-lis, and a large decorative initial I set among tulips and thistle-like blooms. A designer could draw on their bold black-on-cream woodcut rhythm for borders, initials, and symmetrical ornament.
