The Hollander is a 1640 London comedy by Henry Glapthorne, printed by John Okes for Anne Wilson and sold at her Holborn shop, reprinting a play first acted in 1635 at the Cock-pit in Drury Lane. Its pictures are decorative typographic ornaments: a large woodcut initial letter at the start of each passage, and a band of foliage, birds and a flower urn, which a designer could adapt for historical borders, initials and printed page ornament.
