Letter F c. 16th century

Editor: Here we have an anonymous piece titled "Letter F," housed at the Harvard Art Museums. It's quite decorative, almost like something out of a fairytale. What do you see in this little marvel? Curator: It whispers of old printing presses, doesn’t it? Each flower a tiny universe held within the letter, a flourish in a world craving beauty. It reminds me that even the most functional things can be art. What did you make of it? Editor: I love that idea! I hadn't really considered its functionality before, just its aesthetic charm. Curator: Exactly! Sometimes the deepest art lies hidden in plain sight, disguised as utility.
