Official Colonial Williamsburg postcard featuring a photo of diners at Christiana Campbell's Tavern in the 1950s. The waiter holding the teapot in the center is Hugh Augustus Winfree, Jr., who worked for Colonial Williamsburg for ten years and often posed as a model in promotional photos. An aspiring artist, Winfree held an art exhibition at the Franklin House Dormitory, a housing unit for Colonial Williamsburg employees, in 1956.

The other waiter featured on the postcard to the left is Dick Owens.

According to the card's caption, "This well-known eighteenth-century tavern is operated today in the hospitable spirit of its colonial proprietors. Remembered by millions for its delicious seafood from the Chesapeake Bay, steaks, coffees and "Black Velvet" cocktails, Campbell's is one of Virginia's finest restaurants."
