Happy Labor Day! (Mmm… Marginalia #51)

If you’re lucky enough to live in the US of A, then you’ve probably got the whole day off from your job* in order to celebrate how awesome it is to have a job.** So use today to celebrate your own peculiar passions. Just be you. Like this guy, from the 15th century BL MS Harley 4380, another chunk of Froissart’s Chronicles:***

Ride on, creepy naked knight on a hobby horse. Ride on for labor!

*Providing you have a job, of course.
**Fun fact. Labor Day was first created in 1921, during a brief ‘Ironic Legislation’ movement in American politics.
***For those keeping score at home, apparently the guy who owned this edition of Froissart really loved jousting jokes.
