Medieval smiley face
This is a true feel-good doodle, drawn by a medieval reader and found in the lower margin of a 13th-century page. The surprisingly modern-looking smiley face is wearing glasses and seems to float towards the text in a balloon, quite content. This little scene made my day.
Pic: Conches, Bibliothèque municipale, MS 7 (main text 13th century, doodle 14th or 15th century). More medieval doodles in this Tumblr.

You should all follow Erik Kwakkel’s tumblr, all of his amazing medieval posts have lovely annotations, a rare thing on tumblr where too often we see images with little context.  Superb!

The Army…I find to be extremely well armed, pretty well clothed, and tolerably disciplined. Much yet remains to be done. Our soldiers have not yet quite the air of soldiers. They don’t step exactly in time. They don’t hold their heads up quite erect, nor turn out their toes exactly as they ought. They don’t all of them cock their hats; and as such do, don’t all wear them the same way.

John Adams, August 25, 1777. Quoted by George C. Daughan, If By Sea.
