The younger brother, or, The amorous jilt : a comedy, acted at the Theatre Royal, by His Majesty's Servants
A 1696 London printing of a comedy by Aphra Behn, here with a commentary by Charles Gildon, issued by the publisher J. Harris and sold by R. Baldwin for play readers. The picture is a bookplate from the Boston Public Library's Longfellow Memorial Collection, showing a bearded man's portrait framed by a laurel wreath, torches, and fleur-de-lis borders above an inscription naming the 1896 gift from Victorine Thomas Artz. A designer might take the symmetrical laurel-and-torch framing and fleur-de-lis border as a classical commemorative device.
