J.C. de Widt, untitled example of original micrography, 10.63 × 12.75 in, Amsterdam, 1780.⁠
⁠
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.

Image of a goat, a young nursing goat, on a hilly landscape. A house and shepherd are seen in the distance. Birds and clouds are in the sky. Everything in the image is made with tiny letters.
