EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ethereal beauty of Bonaventure Cemetery in 1872. The photograph, taken by John Filmer, showcases the enchanting landscape of this rural cemetery located on the Wilmington River in Savannah, Georgia, USA. The image transports us to a time when Spanish moss delicately draped over the trees, creating an atmosphere both haunting and serene. As we gaze upon this scene from "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant, we are reminded of the power of nature's embrace even within a place associated with death. Filmer's wood engraving skillfully brings out every detail - from the intricate patterns of Tillandsia Usneoides (Spanish moss) to the gloomy yet mesmerizing ambiance that permeates throughout. It is as if time stands still in this nineteenth-century snapshot. Bonaventure Cemetery becomes more than just a burial ground; it transforms into a geographical feature that intertwines life and death harmoniously. This print serves as a testament to Filmer's artistic prowess and his ability to capture not only physical landscapes but also evoke emotions through his work. As we observe this piece today, we can't help but appreciate how it encapsulates both literature and artistry from another era. It reminds us that even in darkness there is beauty waiting to be discovered – just like Bonaventure Cemetery itself.
