This display grew out of the Spring 2016 museum-based sem- inar, ARH 348: When In Rome, a hands-on class in which students analyzed 19th-century photographs in relation to scholarly work on tourism and the Grand Tour, as well as on the ancient monuments themselves. Participants in the seminar also delved into 19th-century guidebooks and depictions of Rome in contemporary fiction, from Henry James’ Daisy Miller to Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Marble Faun, to see what such juxtapositions of text and image may reveal. The installation was co-curated by Smith College professor Barbara Kellum and Daniel Recalde, Amherst ’16. ARH 348 seminar participants included Alessia Becker ’16, Nat Belkov ’16, Rachel Diana, UMass graduate student, Isabella Galdone ’16, Laura Grant ’17, Samantha Linder ’18, Pablo Morales, Amherst ’16, Brett Katharine Porter ’16, Daniel Recalde, Amherst ’16, Emma Rodrigue ’16 and Lydia Wilson ’16.
