When archivists at the Museum of English Rural Life opened a box full of old books from the 18th century, they ran across a gem: a mathematics book that belonged to a 13-year-old teenager named "Richard Beale," and dated May 18th, 1784.
Richard used the book to write mathematical equations and problems, but like any teenager, math just couldn’t keep his full attention. So he did what came naturally … he doodled!
But not just any doodle … Richard doodled 18th century chicken wearing pants.
