The caption reads: "Supper Room of the Governor's Palace, Williamsburg, Virginia. Here guests at the many elaborate balls gathered for refreshments. This building has been reconstructed and completely furnished with 18th-century antiques following detailed inventories of the period."

The moldings exhibit richly carved Chinese and neo-classical ornamentation. A Chinese wallpaper pattern is visible on the walls, though it has since been removed.

Interior furnishings and decor reflect curators' views in the 1950s as to how Williamsburg's historic interiors may have looked in the eighteenth century. Nevertheless, with the advance of new research findings over the years, the interiors of the Governor’s Palace have changed to reflect a more authentic and accurate view of the building’s likely contents and room arrangements.]]>
