This woodcut print by Dick van Luijn, likely from 1953, depicts the letter "U" as a stylized cityscape, with a bird perched atop the letter, swans swimming in the foreground and a bridge visible in the lower left corner. The artist's use of black and white and the distinctive woodcut texture lends a unique aesthetic to the image, which is reminiscent of earlier woodcuts by the German Expressionists. Van Luijn was a prolific Dutch graphic artist known for his charming and often whimsical illustrations.
