Letter E c. 16th century

Editor: So this small piece is titled “Letter E,” by an anonymous artist, here at the Harvard Art Museums. It looks like a stamp or a print of some kind. What strikes me is how ornate just a single letter can be. What do you see in it? Curator: It reminds me of illuminated manuscripts, each letter a portal to a world. I wonder, what kind of world does the letter “E” open for you? For me, it whispers of "Ephemeral," something fleeting, or maybe "Eloquent," a silent story. What do you think? Editor: I hadn't considered that! I was stuck on the visual, but I like how you connected it to words beyond just the letter itself. Curator: Art's like a Rorschach test, isn't it? It's not just about what's there, but what *we* bring to it. Editor: That’s a great point.
