The emperor of the moon : a farce as it is acted by Their Majesties Servants at the Queens Theatre
The emperor of the moon is a 1687 farce by Aphra Behn, adapted from Anne Mauduit de Fatouville's Arlequin empereur dans la lune, printed in London by R. Holt for Joseph Knight and Francis Saunders for a playgoing public. The single picture is not a scene but a large display of the word FARC in heavy Roman capitals, with the stroke weight, flared serifs and cut-in letterforms of a seventeenth-century title-page type, useful to a designer looking for a sturdy historical display face.
