The Savannah River
Pictures by Peter Gordon and P. Fourdrinier
A tall-masted schooner rests at a wooden wharf on turquoise water, under a soft pink evening sky along the Savannah riverfront, in a photochrom from around 1900. Inside, Peter Gordon's 1734 view shows the young city laid out around its grid of public squares, twenty-two of which still survive today. For someone who loves Savannah or calls it home.
