Us is a lot: Holly Robertson (our brilliant designer), Stacey LeClair, Anne Chesnut, Devon Blackenbaker, Regina Rush, Jacquelyn Kim, Edwina St. Rose... (Don't go away, there's more!)
Thanks for the thoughtful & quite good take on @HolsingerPhotos project, @johnedwinmason's research, and the hard work of Holly Robertson @RareUVA to bring this exhibit to life. 👏 If you see it, we suggest this related exhibit of these photos @JSAAHC: https://t.co/Q9gYP5tVct

We're absolutely delighted with this fantastic report about our exhibition by @WHSVSimone. Her interviews with @HistoricCville & @DeteasaG -- descendants of some of the portrait sitters -- gives the story special depth. https://t.co/5GxyfYxfLz
