A courthouse and an artesian well are the subjects of this view of Thomasville, Georgia, a town in southwest Georgia that became known in the late 1800s as a winter retreat for visitors from the North. Its artesian wells brought water up under natural pressure, which made them a point of local interest. The date, somewhere between 1884 and 1891, is an estimate, and the title comes from old caption cards that have not been fully verified, so the exact site is worth checking. The print is one of several album photographs from the period, when courthouses often anchored small Southern towns.
