Book Description
Called "The Forest City" and "The Paris of the South", the city of Savannah Georgia is well-known throughout the South for its beautiful squares and parks, its magnificent architecture, and fascinating history. Over 250 vintage hand-tinted postcards will transport readers back into Savannah's past to a time when the city was a booming tourist and industry made a popular destination for travelers from around the world. Gaze at graceful Southern mansions, sprawling avenues, the imposing buildings of the cotton trade, and the moss-draped oak trees that have made Savannah known the world over as a city of elegance and beauty. Approximate dating and values will aide collectors in building their own collections of these wonderful images.



Quotes:

Savannah Morning News (April 9, 2006)
From City Talk columnist, Bill Dawers: Like many who are familiar with Savannah history, I've seen countless old black and white photos of Savannah's great buildings and public spaces. So when I first opened the new book...I expected to see more of the same. But I found myself porting over each image. These aren't the usual old photos, but vibrant reproductions of hand-tinted postcards dating back to the early 1900s.

Connect Savannah (June 2006)
...With full color on every page, Greetings From Savannah is clearly the most visually sumptuous...
