Marginalia
As a followup to the earlier Manicule post, here are two more interesting examples of marginalia. The first is an eye, which I have never come across before in any other book. It reminds me of when I was a music student and players would pencil eyeglasses into the margins of band or orchestra sheet music, meaning “look at the conductor.” This one presumably means the opposite, “look closer at the page.”
The second is another manicule; although, this one is better rendered than those in the previous post. There is a nice shirt ruffle around the wrist, and perhaps knuckles or rings depicted at the base of the fingers.
