An anachronistic print by British artist and calligrapher Seb Lester featuring an intricate metallic gold letter ’S’ rendered on black paper, comprised of hundreds of symbols including cave paintings, hieroglyphs, emojis and corporate logos from prehistory to modern times via the Dark Ages and Renaissance.

Fair enough.
