They dated from the previous century and were coarsely printed on tinted paper, with tinsel outlining the design.
- 1963, Margery Allingham, “Foreword”, in The China Governess[1]:

使用する際の注意点
Neither the word century itself nor phrases like the twentieth century are proper nouns. Therefore "in the twentieth century", "in the 20th century", and the like should be written with lowercase letters, except in contexts (like book titles) where even common nouns are capitalized.
