Inspiration
At the time of its completion in 1722, the Governor's Palace was considered the finest such building in British America. It was built to display the colony's wealth, power, and permanence. The Governor's Palace was home to five lieutenant governors, two royal governors, Virginia's first two elected governors, and hundreds of servants and enslaved people.
About the Artist and The Posy Collection
For more than two decades, Anne Bell Robb has been painting the American scene, giving us a fresh appreciation of the heritage which is ours. During that same period, The Posy Collection has been interpreting our major historical sites and natural wonders in cross-stitch. This kit is the result of their combined efforts aimed at "preserving our story in stitches." The Governor's Palace, one of Robb's most striking historical paintings, depicts the Williamsburg building that was the home of seven royal governors and the first two governors of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
