Blink and you'll miss it!

Something slightly different for #MarginaliaMonday today: Trinity's Archivist discovered this tiny face drawn inside the Lower Buttery Book, one of the college's 17th-century account books!
Page from the Lower Buttery Book (1658-61) showing handwritten lists in C17th secretary hand detailing college expenditures. Close-up of top right corner of a page in the Lower Buttery Book (1658-61) showing a face drawn in ink (seemingly contemporary).
