1920s Bonaventure Cemetery, Savannah GEORGIA Canvas Print

I've collected vintage postcards for decades of my life. This 1920s linen postcard is a perfect fit on canvas. If you've ever been to Savannah, Georgia...the Spanish Moss is magnificent nature's art. This is "DRIVE IN BONAVENTRE, SAVANNAH, GA" as noted on the postcard. Commodore Josiah Tattnall III sold the 600-acre plantation and its private cemetery to Peter Wiltberger. The first burials took place in 1850, and three years later, Peter Wiltberger himself was entombed in a family vault. Major William H. Wiltberger, the son of Peter, formed the Evergreen Cemetery Company on June 12, 1868. On July 7, 1907, the City of Savannah purchased the Evergreen Cemetery Company, making the cemetery public and changing the name to Bonaventure Cemetery. The cemetery's prominence grew when it was featured in the 1994 novel Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
