Our last post showed the largest letters in the upcoming 10 × 10 for 10 exhibition. This item contains the smallest letters—by far. Micrography (or microcalligraphy) is the art of creating images using tiny writing. This kind of calligram has a long religious history based on the devout observation of the second commandment against images.

Fantastic Planet: The Microscopy Album of Marinus Pieter Filbri (1887–88)

Toward the beginning of this album of photographs belonging to Marinus Pieter Filbri, there is a series of shots of the phases of the moon; closing it out, a glimpse through the gauze of an insect’s wing, magnified eighty times its normal size.

A calligraphic masterpiece, an 11-inch high piece of parchment that contains the entire biblical Song of Songs in Hebrew micrography (written in tiny letters). It is signed by the Lithuanian artist/scribe, Baruch ben Shemaryah, 1794. It renders the entire Song of Songs as a work of art, in letters that are at once text and illumination. Shir (song) is the central word around which the text revolves. - Yale University Judaica Collection https://campuspress.yale.edu/judaicacollection/2013/11/05/song-of-songs/ #SongofSongs #micrography
