Letter I Used by Valentin Curio 15th-16th century

Editor: This initial "I," used by Valentin Curio and created by an anonymous artist, is more than meets the eye! It's got little people bustling around it. What sort of story do you imagine is being told here? Curator: Well, isn't it charming? I see a playful dance between form and function. The letter "I" becomes a stage, almost, for these miniature figures. They seem to be engaged in some sort of harvest, perhaps? Or maybe it’s the labor of language itself, the way words build worlds. What do you make of their gestures? Editor: I see that now! It's like the letter itself is growing. Thanks for helping me see this in a new light. Curator: My pleasure. I’ll never look at the alphabet the same way again!
