Letter T c. 1500

Curator: Here we have an intriguing, small print titled "Letter T" by an anonymous artist. It resides here at the Harvard Art Museums. Editor: It’s so tactile, with that stippled field surrounding the letter. I wonder about the physical process of making this. Curator: The letter itself is fascinating. Notice how the 'T' form is stylized, almost as if sprouting organic tendrils, suggesting growth and interconnectedness. Editor: Yes, that interplay between the mechanical reproduction and the hand-crafted feel is interesting! Was this meant to be part of a larger, illuminated manuscript perhaps? Curator: Possibly. Or perhaps a singular exploration of form and meaning imbued within this simple letter. It resonates still today, don't you think? Editor: Definitely. It’s a nice reminder that even small, mass-produced items carry the imprint of human labor and intention.
