Description
An account of the resource
Collection of sixty-five black and white photographs donated by Vernon M. Geddy Jr., a local attorney and long-time Williamsburg resident whose father, Vernon M. Geddy Sr., assisted with legal matters connected with Williamsburg's resotration in the late 1920s and early 1930s and who became an executive officer of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Some of the photographs bear the initials of Ernest M. Frank, who rose from the rank of Architectural Draftsman to Assistant Vice-President over the course of a three-decade career at Colonial Williamsburg.
The photos all relate to Rosewood, a residence in King and Queen County, Virginia, that was dismantled and moved to Colonial Williamsburg in 1948 to become the residence of James Lowry Cogar and John Lewis. Since several of the photos show individuals inspecting and measuring the building and a few have the date 1948 noted on them, it is thought they all date to around the time period when the house moved from King and Queen County to Williamsburg. The advent of World War II slowed plans for a proposed Phase II expansion of restoration efforts. Buildings along York Street east of the Capitol site had not yet received much study. Cogar purchased the Nicolson House on York Street in 1940 with a goal of restoring it from its dilapidated state back to its eighteenth-century condition. Around 1947, he purchased Rosewood, a house in King and Queen County, Virginia surviving from the middle of the eighteenth-century, as his second restoration project. He arranged for the dismantling and reconstruction of the home next to the Robert Nicolson House in Williamsburg. Cogar continued to live on York Street after leaving Colonial Williamsburg's employ in 1948 and operated his own antique furniture firm, Cogar, Lewis, and Geiger Inc., until 1962. Today the restored home formerly known as Rosewood is called the Cogar Shop in his honor. It houses Colonial Williamsburg staff offices.
James Cogar began his employment in 1931 to assist the Williamsburg Restoration staff with acquisition of artwork and furnishings for the interiors of various exhibition buildings. He became Colonial Williamsburg's first curator and head of the Department of Collections and continued to oversee the museum's object acquisitions, as well as provide guidance on appropriate antique furniture and furnishings for exhibition buildings, until 1948. After restoring the NIcolson House and moving Rosewood from King and Queen County to a lot next to the NIcholson House on York Street, Cogar opened his antique furniture firm, Cogar, Lewis, and Geiger Inc. Upon closure of this business, he sold the Cogar Shop and the Nicolson House to Colonial Williamsburg in 1964 and moved back to his hometown of Midway, Kentucky to become Executive Director of Shakertown.

Description
An account of the resource
Collection of sixty-five black and white photographs donated by Vernon M. Geddy Jr., a local attorney and long-time Williamsburg resident whose father, Vernon M. Geddy Sr., assisted with legal matters connected with Williamsburg's resotration in the late 1920s and early 1930s and who became an executive officer of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Some of the photographs bear the initials of Ernest M. Frank, who rose from the rank of Architectural Draftsman to Assistant Vice-President over the course of a three-decade career at Colonial Williamsburg.
The photos all relate to Rosewood, a residence in King and Queen County, Virginia, that was dismantled and moved to Colonial Williamsburg in 1948 to become the residence of James Lowry Cogar and John Lewis. Since several of the photos show individuals inspecting and measuring the building and a few have the date 1948 noted on them, it is thought they all date to around the time period when the house moved from King and Queen County to Williamsburg. The advent of World War II slowed plans for a proposed Phase II expansion of restoration efforts. Buildings along York Street east of the Capitol site had not yet received much study. Cogar purchased the Nicolson House on York Street in 1940 with a goal of restoring it from its dilapidated state back to its eighteenth-century condition. Around 1947, he purchased Rosewood, a house in King and Queen County, Virginia surviving from the middle of the eighteenth-century, as his second restoration project. He arranged for the dismantling and reconstruction of the home next to the Robert Nicolson House in Williamsburg. Cogar continued to live on York Street after leaving Colonial Williamsburg's employ in 1948 and operated his own antique furniture firm, Cogar, Lewis, and Geiger Inc., until 1962. Today the restored home formerly known as Rosewood is called the Cogar Shop in his honor. It houses Colonial Williamsburg staff offices.
James Cogar began his employment in 1931 to assist the Williamsburg Restoration staff with acquisition of artwork and furnishings for the interiors of various exhibition buildings. He became Colonial Williamsburg's first curator and head of the Department of Collections and continued to oversee the museum's object acquisitions, as well as provide guidance on appropriate antique furniture and furnishings for exhibition buildings, until 1948. After restoring the NIcolson House and moving Rosewood from King and Queen County to a lot next to the NIcholson House on York Street, Cogar opened his antique furniture firm, Cogar, Lewis, and Geiger Inc. Upon closure of this business, he sold the Cogar Shop and the Nicolson House to Colonial Williamsburg in 1964 and moved back to his hometown of Midway, Kentucky to become Executive Director of Shakertown.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
Richard Garrison was a New York photographer with a studio at 52 Vanderbilt Avenue in New York City. His architectural photographs appeared regularly in such magazines as "House Beautiful," "American Art and Architecture," "Architectural Record," and "House & Garden." According to a recommendation written by Mr. Frederic C. Hirons, Garrison “…was trained as an architect and …knows the vital points in taking architectural photographs…”
After F.S. Lincoln’s photography contract expired in 1937, Colonial Williamsburg hired Richard Garrison in his place. A contract signed by Garrison in June 1937 indicates that Garrison was contracted to be available when requested to photograph exterior and interior views of buildings between June 15, 1937 and June 14, 1938. Colonial Williamsburg renewed this agreement with Garrison in 1938 and 1939.
Colonial Williamsburg staff members asked Garrison to create a master collection of official photos of Colonial Williamsburg buildings and gardens. He was given several lists of suggested views to take of the exterior and interior of the Governor’s Palace, the Capitol, the Raleigh Tavern, the Public Gaol, the Wren Building, Market Square Tavern, and the Travis House. The lists also instructed him to photograph various gardens and street scenes in the historic area, as well as shops in the business block and exterior views of the Williamsburg Inn. Some of Garrison’s photos formed part of the Virginia exhibit at the New York World’s Fair in 1939.
Richard Garrison joined the Navy in 1942 and closed his office for the duration of World War II. During this period, his negative files were made available to Colonial Williamsburg at the offices of Underwood & Underwood in New York City. Garrison received his discharge from the Navy in 1946 and contacted Colonial Williamsburg about the possibility of additional contract work. The photographer presented Kenneth Chorley, President of Colonial Williamsburg, with a proposal to photograph the interiors of private homes within the historic area. Mr. Chorley vetoed the proposal because he felt the private interiors were not accurately restored and would confuse the public as to the objectives of the restoration work. Other Colonial Williamsburg staff members were more enthusiastic about the proposal, but it was never approved. Therefore, Garrison did not perform any more contract photography for Colonial Williamsburg after World War II.
Scope and Contents
The Richard Garrison Photo Collection consists of one portfolio of black and white and hand-colored photos ranging in size from 8x10 to 11x14. These are the only known Garrison photos in the Foundation’s photo archives. The whereabouts of the other negatives and prints created by Garrison while under contract to Colonial Williamsburg are unknown.
Although it is unfortunate that only a small portion of Garrison’s photographic work for Colonial Williamsburg has been preserved, this small portfolio provides a sample of the types of photographs he created. The subject matter includes interior views of the Governor’s Palace, George Wythe House, Market Square Tavern, and the Raleigh Tavern; exterior views of the Capitol, Raleigh Tavern, Public Gaol, Courthouse, Ludwell-Paradise House, Ayscough Shop, Palmer House, Travis House, Pitt Dixon House, Coke-Garrett House, and the Williamsburg Inn; and various unidentified garden scenes. Some of the photos are mounted on board and signed by the photographer. They date from the period of 1937-1939, when Garrison worked on a contract basis for Colonial Williamsburg.
Garrison's photographs of Colonial Williamsburg appeared in an exhibit at the Pedac Galleries at Rockefeller Center and also in the publication "Williamsburg, Virginia: A Brief Study in Photographs" published in 1939 by Colonial Williamsburg, Inc.

Selections from the Postcard Collection
Description
An account of the resource
The Postcard Collection housed at the John D. Rockefeller Jr. Library consists of postcards of Williamsburg and surrounding areas dating from the late 19th-century to the present. It includes examples of early postcards of the town prior to its restoration by John D. Rockefeller Jr. In addition, it encompasses many examples of official postcards produced by Colonial Williamsburg for tourists. A smaller number of postcards of neighboring historic sites, such as Jamestown and Yorktown, are also present.
The selections included here are primarily vintage postcards of Colonial Williamsburg and surrounding tourist attractions ranging in date from 1898 to the 1950s. Early cards in the collection illustrate a range of common postcard types and reproduction techniques. The history of the postcard's development as a souvenir, as well as the growth of tourism in Williamsburg, can be traced via Colonial Williamsburg's Postcard Collection.
During what is known as the Pioneer Era from 1870-1898, the first form of postcard, featuring an illustration on one side and an undivided back on the other, did not allow the sender to include a note, unless it was written across a portion of the image on the front. The majority of pioneering postcard formats served as advertisements up until the 1893 Columbia Exposition, when postcards first appeared as souvenirs for Exposition visitors to purchase.
The Private Mailing Card Era from 1898-1901 is characterized by cards printed with the notice "Private Mailing Card Authorized by Act of Congress on May 19, 1898." Backs of the cards remained undivided and purchasers could mail the cards for a cost of one cent. Several examples of postcards from this era are present in the collection. They include some of the earliest instances of souvenir cards created to promote Williamsburg historic sites, such as the Courthouse, Bruton Parish Church, the Powder Magazine, and the Capitol site. European rather than American printers created many of these postcards due to their superb skills. Chromo-lithograph cards of this era exhibit extremely rich colors.
By the time the Jamestown Exposition took place in 1907, postcard production had entered the Divided Back Era, which continued until 1915. Modified postcard backs offered a segment on the left side for senders to pen a brief message. Production of cards gradually shifted to more American printers. The Jamestown Exposition provided a strong impetus for promotion of other historic sites that attendees might also stop at along the way. A series of postcards commemorating Williamsburg area historic sites in conjunction with the 1907 celebration are excellent examples of very early divided back cards.
The Early Modern Era between 1916-1930 led to an increase in production of souvenir cards relating to the Williamsburg area. One type of format popular in this period is the "White Border Card" characterized by a view surrounded with a white border. Real photo cards also began to appear that featured photographs, rather than prints, of local surroundings. In the era before Colonial Williamsburg operated official gift shops, tourists counted on the Cole News Shop as their source for maps, postcards, travel guides, and souvenirs. Mr. Henry Dennison Cole served as the proprietor. His business stood on the site of the present day Taliaferro-Cole Shop. He produced his own postcards of historic sites in the area being restored by the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities and other groups of preservation minded citizens. Several examples of cards published by the Cole Shop can be found in the collection and offer a glimpse of attractions popular with early 20th-century tourists, such as the old Masonic Hall and Custis Kitchen.
Once Colonial Williamsburg opened a core group of exhibition buildings to the public in the early 1930s, a new era dawned in which the museum began production of official postcards as souvenirs for visitors. Photographs by F.S. Lincoln, an architectural photographer hired on a contract basis in 1935 to take some of the first promotional photos of Colonial Williamsburg exhibition buildings, appeared on a number of real photo postcards issued in the late 1930s. Both examples of postcards bearing his photos, as well as his actual photograph collection, reside at the Rockefeller Library.
The Albertype Company of Brooklyn, New York, produced one of the earliest official postcard series highlighting Colonial Williamsburg exhibition buildings, costumed interpreters, Williamsburg Inn and Lodge, and Merchants Square. In addition to holding numerous examples of Albertype cards, the Rockefeller Library also houses the corresponding photographic prints used to generate the postcards. Albertype cards are characterized by sepia toned images that show exterior and interior views of exhibition buildings, as well as some of the earliest scenes of African Americans in costume demonstrating colonial cooking techniques.
