A 1672 London comedy by Thomas Shadwell, printed for Thomas Collins and John Ford, bound with satirical poems by Dryden, Montagu and Brown. The pictures here are only large decorative initial letters, D, N and H, cut in a heavy black roman face on plain cream paper. A designer could take from them the strong contrast of solid black letterforms against a warm paper ground, a useful model for display capitals and drop caps.
