Dated March 29, 1734, Peter Gordon's view captures Savannah as it stood barely a year after James Oglethorpe and the Georgia Trustees brought the first colonists to a bluff above the Savannah River in 1733. Among the earliest visual records of the settlement, it shows the town laid out in the planned grid of streets and squares that became known as the Oglethorpe Plan. Viewers today often study it to compare that original design with the city that grew from it.
