poor little rat got stuck in a grate like some new york city winnie the pooh 😞 🍯🍕

(don't worry they rescued him 🤍)

Classic drawing of Winnie the Pooh, trying to go into Rabbit's burrow. He's stuck, and his lower half is sticking out

@ElleGray Yes, they rescued Winnie, but what about the rat?

The artist who painted the initials in this Italian manuscript (@subugoe Cod. MS philol. 116) painted this A upside down so that it now looks like a V. An A was added in the margin as a correction. Did the artist work upside-down, and if so, why?

Pre-modern books are great records of human error and therefore of historic working practices.

@litteracarolina @subugoe @medievodons @histodons @historikerinnen Another possibility is that it was no "A", but a "V" mixing up atque and utique (vtiqve), later adding the bar as first correction.
