EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate "Town Plan of Savannah" dating back to 1733, meticulously drawn with pen and ink on paper by an anonymous American School artist from the 18th century. Measuring at a remarkable size of 35.2x39.5 cm, this historical artifact is made available for us to admire thanks to the generosity of the Earl of Leicester and the Trustees of the Holkham Estate. The town plan itself offers a fascinating glimpse into British colonial America during its early stages of development. With its precise mapping and grid-like structure, it exemplifies both urban planning prowess and imperial ambition. This map serves as a testament to Georgia's emergence as one of Britain's colonies in the New World. Every stroke on this drawing tells a story - from marking out streets and buildings to envisioning future settlements within Savannah's borders. It encapsulates not only geographical information but also echoes aspirations for progress in this burgeoning colony. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time, witnessing history unfold before our eyes. The Town Plan of Savannah stands as a testament to human ingenuity and serves as a reminder that every city has its humble beginnings rooted in meticulous planning and visionary dreams.
