. This photograph, titled "Savannah, Georgia, No. 2,1866" takes us back to a defining moment in American history. Captured by George N. Barnard in the late 19th century, this albumen silver print showcases his remarkable talent for documenting landscapes and historical events. The image transports us to the banks of Savannah River as it winds its way through the charming city of Savannah. In this bustling scene, we witness an array of boats gracefully navigating the waterways - from majestic sailing ships with their billowing sails to paddle steamers churning through the currents.
