WRIGHT SQUARE Savannah No. 4 (11x14 Print)

Description

No photo can capture the simultaneous feeling of enclosure and expansiveness within a Savannah square. This drawing documents Wright Square as a "streetscape-in-the-round", the architectural street wall that wraps its perimeter. Within the square - a forest punctuated by monuments and crossed by brick walks. The Square forms the locus of a Ward, a neat unit of neighborhood measurement comprised of the blocks on all sides adjacent to the Square. A map from 1770 shows the first 6 Wards that set the pattern for the City's urban growth until the mid-1800s. Measurements of the street rights-of-way are recorded, in the expressive cursive script of the original map by Thos. Shruder, Deputy Surveyor General.
