Letter D c. 15th century

Curator: Ah, "Letter D," a piece without a known creator, residing in the Harvard Art Museums. Editor: It feels like glimpsing a secret, doesn’t it? All that dense text surrounding the ornate "D"... What do you see in this, beyond the initial impression of antiquity? Curator: For me, the "D" is a portal, an invitation to decode. The letter itself is a miniature world, teeming with visual stories, reflecting a time when text and image were deeply intertwined. It makes me wonder: what secrets does this "D" hold? What tales would it tell? Editor: So, it's not just a letter, it's a story waiting to be read? Curator: Precisely. And perhaps a challenge to our modern eyes, used to simpler forms. It begs us to slow down, to truly see. Editor: That makes me appreciate it a lot more. Thanks!
