A pleasant comedy called The case is alterd : as it hath beene sundry times acted by the Children of the Black-Friers
A 1609 London play by Ben Jonson, printed by Nicholas Okes for the booksellers Bartholomew Sutton and William Barrenger and sold at St Paul's Church, recording a comedy once performed by the Children of the Black-Friars. The single picture is a small printer's ornament, an oval cartouche of a stylised fleur-de-lis with curling scrolls and foliage, set against the blank page. A designer could take from it a compact, symmetrical emblem for a logo, bookplate, or border, with its carved-scroll frame and repeating leaf motifs.
