New ABC Booklet: R

Lucas Kilian

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white illustration of a large capital letter R. The letter R fills most of the image. The letter is decorated with filigree that includes flowers and leaves. The letter is bordered by a thin line and then more filigree. Inside the bowl of the R is the upper body of a nude woman. To the right of the R, a child sits at what looks like a drafting table. The child holds a quill pen and appears to be drawing. Behind the child on the right is a shield with the letter T on it. On the left side, a child climbs the border to near the top. The image is on what appears to be aged paper.
