Letter D c. 16th century

Editor: So, here we have a little woodcut, "Letter D", artist unknown. It feels like a tiny, contained garden, almost medieval. What do you see in this piece? Curator: Ah, yes, a secret garden! I imagine monks hunched over manuscripts, painstakingly crafting each letter. Do you think this 'D' feels more like a beginning or an ending? Editor: Hmm, good question! Maybe a beginning, since 'D' is early in the alphabet. Curator: Precisely! And the flowers bursting forth suggest new growth, a blossoming of ideas. It’s funny how something so small can spark such grand thoughts, don't you think? Editor: I do! It definitely makes you appreciate the artistry in the everyday.
