This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Christmas is come, hang on the pot, Let spits turn round, and ovens be hot; Beef, pork, and poultry, now provide, To feast thy neighbours at this tide; Then wash all down with good wine and beer, And so with mirth conclude the YEAR.” So wrote an anonymous poet in the 1765 edition of the Virginia Almanack, published in Williamsburg. Drawing on eighteenth-century traditions, Colonial Williamsburg has become famous for its celebrations of the Christmas season. In Colonial Williamsburg’s Historic Area—and in the pages of this lavishly illustrated book—you’ll find wreaths and roping crafted from greenery, fruit, and other natural materials; boards groaning under the weight of holiday fare; cressets warming the streets and candles flickering in the windows of the town’s homes and taverns; fireworks lighting up such iconic buildings as the Capitol and the Governor’s Palace. In colonial times and today, Christmas in Williamsburg not a day but a season—and one this book lets you experience throughout the year.

Book Synopsis Williamsburg by : Catherine Calvert

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of visitors have appreciated Williamsburg not only for its authentic taste of life in colonial Virginia but also for the incredible design resource of its meticulously restored and appointed homes and gardens. Ever since the 1930s, Williamsburg fans have been able to decorate their homes with reproductions of furnishings, fabrics, and accessories, but until now there has never been a decorating book that shows how to put the look together. In chapters that highlight living rooms and gathering places; the bedchamber; dining rooms, kitchens, and pantries; and home and garden, Williamsburg demonstrates its ability to inspire contemporary lifestyles. Special sections on such topics as lighting, color, mantels, silver, and bed hangings focus on details; and photographs of rooms especially decorated for the book by decorating expert Tricia Foley, using Colonial Williamsburg reproductions, give practical ideas for mixing old, new, and reproductions in a harmonious scheme.Produced in conjunction with The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, the book is rich with the latest discoveries about 18th-century taste -- bold new colors, rest
