Finding "Outlander" in the Photographic History Collections
Oh, sigh! Season two of Outlander (the show in which British World War II field nurse, Claire, slips through time and meets the 18th century Highlander, Jamie) has just finished. I started watching the show and reading the books to escape from my current deep swim and analysis of the history of American culture. But alas! As I prowl through the Photographic History Collection, I can't help but think about how Scottish history has made its physical way into the National Museum of American History.
The tea leaf reader! This hand-tinted daguerreotype by British photographer William Constable from the 1850s recalls that early scene in the story that sets the stage for Claire's future. So sure, she's English, but she has a slightly hand-tinted plaid, tartan-like head wrap!
