The Roman actor : a tragedie, as it hath diuers times beene with good allowance acted at the private play-house in the Black-Friers by the Kings Majesties servants
The Roman Actor is a 1629 London tragedy by Philip Massinger, printed by Bernard Alsop and Thomas Fawcett for the bookseller Robert Allot and performed by the King's Men at the Blackfriars playhouse. The pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a large decorated initial letter with foliage and flowers, and a griffin perched on a pedestal above a winged ornament, useful for designers wanting period headpieces, initials, or heraldic-style beast motifs.
