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.

abandonedography:

On what was once the bed of the Aral Sea, a shoal of camels shelters from the sun under a pair of redundant fishing boats. The Aral Sea was the fourth largest inland body of water in the world but when its water was diverted away, it shrank to a salty puddle.

Pretty medieval manuscript of the day is the Lovell Lectionary, anothear lovely leaf from this remarkable book. Here in the margins are two angels, and a pheasant, and a peacock. Beautiful, aren’t they? All the way from the fifteenth century.
