Gardens - Virginia - Williamsburg

Description
Hand-colored lantern slide featuring a view looking through the pleached arbor in the Governor's Palace garden taken by F.S. Lincoln in 1935. It is the forty-second slide in a set produced by the Pacific Stereopticon Co. of Los Angeles, California, now defunct, to illustrate the story of Dr. W.A.R. Goodwin's dream to restore a portion of Williamsburg, Virginia to its 18th-century appearance as a shrine to early American ideals.
The slide offers a rear elevation view of the formal gardens behind the Palace, as observed from a pleached hornbeam arbor. These gardens, designed by Arthur Shurcliff, include boxwood parterres and one dozen large cylindrical shrubs known as the Twelve Apostles, a feature often appearing in eighteenth-century English gardens.
