A 1633 London printed play by Philip Massinger, printed by Elizabeth Purslowe for the bookseller Henry Seile and sold at the Tiger's Head in St Paul's Churchyard, staged by the Queen's Majesty's servants at the Phoenix theatre in Drury Lane. The pictures are repeated woodcut typographic ornaments, black-on-white horizontal strips built from scrolling acanthus, a central winged face or cherub, and paired beasts or dragons flanking a mask, a useful source for symmetrical border and divider designs.
