AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Bouras describes two works of art: E. Phillips Fox's The Letter and Johannes Vermeer's Woman in Blue Reading a Letter. Separated in time by more than two centuries and were painted in very different places, both works depict women reading letters. Among other things, Bouras laments on the ever-hastening disappearance of letters. She notes that a love email can never be the same as love letter.' (Publication abstract)
