Letter Q c. 16th century

Editor: Here we have an anonymous woodcut print called "Letter Q." It's intriguing how a simple letter transforms into this little world. What do you see in this piece? Curator: Well, it’s a bit like finding a secret garden within the alphabet, isn't it? The letter becomes a stage for a drama, maybe a medieval fable or a mischievous moral tale. I wonder what stories it whispered when it was first printed. Editor: So it's more than just decoration? Curator: Oh, absolutely. It's a tiny rebellion against pure function. A reminder that even the most practical things can hold a spark of imagination, wouldn’t you say? Editor: I never thought about letters that way. Now I see it! Curator: Exactly! And that "Q" now feels a whole lot more special, doesn't it?
