Spanish moss drapes the live oaks and cypress along the water in this engraved view of the Savannah River, a detail that marks it as Lowcountry scenery rather than a generic riverbank. Savannah was founded in 1733 on a bluff above the river, and by the 1800s its port shipped cotton and other goods that moved through the city's busy waterfront. Engravings like this one were often reproduced in books and periodicals, giving readers far from Georgia a picture of the Southern landscape. Look closely at the trees and the calm water to see how the engraver used fine lines to suggest texture and light.
