Letter D 15th-16th century

Editor: Here we have an initial, "Letter D," by an anonymous artist. It looks like a woodcut. The letter is inhabited by children. What's your take? Curator: This initial speaks volumes about the societal roles attributed to children, doesn’t it? Observe their placement within the letter. Does this reinforce or challenge our understanding of power dynamics and innocence, considering the historical context? Editor: Hmmm, I hadn't thought about it that way. Thanks! Curator: Of course! It’s crucial to consider how these images operate within the broader narratives of social expectation. Editor: This adds a whole new layer of complexity. Curator: Precisely!
