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!Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04394379852357655547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3046837977720538494.post-82849611247035580972012-01-22T21:09:34.607-05:002012-01-22T21:09:34.607-05:00Nice photo!
