She ventures, and he wins. A comedy, acted at the new theatre, in Little Lincoln's-Inn Fields, by His Majesty's servants. Written by a young lady
A 1696 London comedy, printed for three booksellers and written anonymously by a young lady under the pseudonym Ariadne, staged at the New Theatre in Little Lincoln's-Inn Fields by the King's company. The first picture is only the book's title line set in a heavy, worn letterpress face on aged paper, showing dense seventeenth-century typography a designer could use for period display type. The second is a bookplate for Franklin Johnston, with a bordered oval, an open book, a globe, theatre masks, and a sword, a compact arrangement of classical emblems suited to framed decorative layouts.
