Doodles Show Personality

Inside cover of Hanger student notebook showing doodles and other notes

Doodles and sketches can be found in many student notebooks. While these sketches are often at the very beginning and end of a notebook, they are sometimes scattered throughout lectures and other notes. As with James Marshall Hanger’s 1853-1854 notebook, it is possible some of these sketches were added by a later owner and/or that pencil was used with the intention of erasing.
