Recto and verso of an official Colonial Williamsburg postcard featuring the interior of the Governor's Palace Kitchen. An African American costumed interpreter shells beans in a chair beside the large open fireplace. She is surrounded by colonial cooking implements, ranging from roasting pans to ladles.
The Governor's Palace opened to the public in 1934. In addition to viewing the lavish public rooms and private quarters of Virginia's colonial governors, visitors could also learn about colonial domestic life and cooking techniques in the Palace Kitchen. A costumed interpreter added commentary and demonstrated food preparation
The card's caption reads: "In this outbuilding of the home of the Royal Governor, food was cooked over an open fire, to be carried into the house by servants. The building was reconstructed with the Palace and is open to the public."
