The subjects joy for the Kings restoration : cheerfully made known in a sacred masque : gratefully made publique for His Sacred Majesty
A 1660 London printing by Anthony Sadler, a sacred masque celebrating the Restoration of King Charles II, published by James Davis at the Greyhound in St Paul's Churchyard for the king's court and public readers. The pictures are a set of front-matter and printers' ornaments: a dense black woodcut strapwork border with flowers, a large display capital 'C' with the word 'Candid' beside it, and a later Boston Public Library seal with laurel wreath, figures and the motto 'Omnium Luxque Civium', which is a library stamp rather than part of the book. A designer could take the strapwork border and the bold letterform for Restoration-era decorative type.
