Mr. Anthony : a comedy, as it is acted by Their Majesty's Servants : never before printed
Mr. Anthony is a 1690 London comedy by Roger Boyle, Earl of Orrery, printed for the bookseller James Knapton and later owned by Thomas Pennant Barton, and this scan preserves only a fragment of its title page. The picture is a close crop of a large black letterpress display type reading 'Majesty's' on aged cream paper, with a heavy high-contrast serif face showing sharp slab-like terminals and a flourished y and s. A designer could draw on its robust seventeenth-century display lettering and warm aged ground for period-style headings.
