Description
Postcard, "Barber and Peruke Maker's Shop, Williamsburg, Virginia," featuring a costumed interpreter smoking a pipe outside the Prentis Store when it housed the Barber and Peruke Maker's Shop,
Caption reads: "Originally an apothecary shop in the early 18th-century, this structure has been restored to its early appearance, and is now furnished as a typical colonial barber and wig maker's establishment."
The composition of this postcard is based upon a photograph taken by Colonial Williamsburg's first staff photographer, Thomas Williams, in 1947 (image # 1947-W-737.) Mr. Sam Helfrich posed as the 18th-century barber sitting outside his shop.
