Does This Taste Poisoned to You?

The perilous lives of food tasters

Hello! I am trying something today.

As you probably know, this newsletter usually comes out on Sunday, and focuses on historical images, art, and artifacts. But, as you may also know, I do a fair amount of writing that doesn’t show up in this newsletter (mostly here). I’ve really enjoyed working on Looking Through the Past over the last year and a half, and I’d like to start writing here more.

So: sometimes on Wednesdays, I’m going to try posting an extra historical piece. I don’t know that I’m ready to commit to twice a week, every week, so for now this will happen when the spirit moves me. I hope you enjoy!
