Letter G c. 18th century

Editor: This anonymous artwork, simply titled "Letter G", presents the letter as an elaborate emblem. There's a figure holding scales, which gives it an allegorical feel. What do you make of it? Curator: It's fascinating how typography can reflect power structures. The figure with scales, likely Justice, alongside the prominent "G," suggests the letter itself represents governance or judgment. How might its display have reinforced societal hierarchies? Editor: So, it's not just a letter; it's a symbol loaded with meaning about law and order? I never thought of it that way. Curator: Exactly. And considering it's anonymous, whose voice is being amplified through this representation of justice? Food for thought.
