EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this 19th-century photograph of The Hermitage in Savannah, Georgia. Dated around 1900, this nostalgic image invites us to explore the rich history of this picturesque Southern mansion. The Hermitage, a National Historic Landmark, is a stunning example of colonial architecture, with its elegant white columns, red-tiled roof, and lush greenery. The mansion, built in 1820, is surrounded by beautiful gardens and oak trees draped in Spanish moss, adding to its charm and allure. This coloured photochrom print, a popular method of colouring photographs during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, showcases the vibrancy and detail of the scene. The use of this technique adds a sense of nostalgia and intrigue, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace. The Hermitage has a fascinating history, having served as the home of several prominent figures, including General John McQueen, who defended Savannah during the Civil War, and Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into the past and the rich heritage of Savannah and the United States. The Hermitage continues to be a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from around the world who seek to experience a piece of history and the unique charm of the South.
