Historical figures in the books
Here are some pictures of historical figures mentioned in Diana Gabaldon's books. Hope you enjoy these!
Charles Stuart (I love the way the artist caught the haughty, disdainful expression on his face)
Denis Diderot (French author, whom Lord John meets near the beginning of BOTB)
Governor William Tryon (colonial governor of North Carolina)
King Louis XV of France (as he looked in 1748, only four years after Jamie and Claire met him)
Lord George Germain (Secretary of State for America during the Revolution), whom Lord John goes to see near the beginning of ECHO
Andrew Bell, co-founder of the Encyclopaedia Britannica (the nose is unmistakable, isn't it?)
Flora MacDonald (pictured here as a young woman)
The Comte St. Germain (apparently dressed in the robes of an occultist)
