Colonial Williamsburg's print collection
provides our historians with examples of Baroque garden design,
like that originally planned for the Wren Building, above.
Other prints evidence the range of tulip varieties available to
ambitious colonial gardeners who could afford these luxury items.
Out of these various sources, the 20th-century restored city arose,
as seen in the reconstructed Governor's Palace to the right. |
