This book offers an intimate glimpse of the 18th-century capital of Virginia, restored now to the days of its colonial greatness. Two hundred years ago Williamsburg was about to close out its career as the seat of government of England's largest colony in America. For a few years, during the Revolution, it would continue as capital of the new state of Virginia, then fade into the background of history--an outdoor storehouse, so to speak, of relics and memories of America's founding. Today the old city looks much as it did when Patrick Henry thundered his defiance of King George III and the Virginia Convention of Delegates voted its historic resolution for independence. Williamsburg's intangible meaning for Americans and its appearance out of the past make it today a paradise for the history buff and the camera bug alike. This revised edition has 35 new pictures from the imaginative lens of Taylor Lewis, the character and spirit of the restored city have been captured as never before. The architecture so uniquely Virginian, the antiques that constitute one of the world's finest collections of eighteenth-century furnishings, the gardens every changing with the seasons, the people of the colonial city going about their daily tasks in the working garb of another age--all form pieces of the colorful mosaic that is now twentieth-century Williamsburg. The book has light tanning on some of the pages. The pages are clean and free of any markings and highlighting. The cover shows some wear and has a corner tear. The binding is tight. …
