Fantastic photo, I love the costumes. Happy Sunday!
Great shot of these enthusiastic fifers! (Sheeese! Is that a real word?... fifers?)
I'm impressed with the sheer numbers of reenactors involved at Williamsburg. Do they get paid or are all of them volunteers? Jim
I must admit I was wondering the same thing as Wayfarin' Stranger. The reenactments are performed by people of all ages, so I'm thinking it would be more of a volunteer thing maybe.
excellent photo! I love the expressions on their faces. happy week to you.
Nice photo! I love candids...
Great photos! A question though: given the pains that Colonial Williamsburg takes with period details, I have never understood instances of inauthenticity that I have seen. For example, period sources say that beards wouldn't have been worn by most men, especially in "polite society", but we see them on costumed guides and interpreters at Williamsburg. In another instance, we once attended a wonderful formal concert at the Governor's mansion, with performers in their 18th century best. Two of the three or four male performers in the ensemble weren't wearing wigs, a definite faux pas in the 18th century!
