Governor Weatherby Swann (Hawthorne Village)

This dapper old-fashioned gentleman was another Hawthorne Village piece.  Civilian figures for the 18th Century are rare enough, but those in a full wig are nearly impossible to find.

Until now.

Enter Hawthorne Village’s Governor Weatherby Swann.  He has a full wig and the long coat and waistcoat characteristic of the first half of the 18th Century.









Such a regal personage deserves an important position, and there are rumors King George will give him a posting in the American colonies.  (Though considering the disturbed state of the colonies at present, this may not be such a desired office!)

However, he will be ably supported by the determined Commodore James Norrington, as well as a proud company of British regulars. (For Commodore Norrington's gallery, visit http://redcoatsandruffles.blogspot.com/2019/12/commodore-james-norrington.html)
