Everard Auctions and Appraisals Offers a Rare Peter Gordon Map of Savannah, Painting by Edmund Osthaus, and More

Established in 1733 by colonists led by James Edward Oglethorpe, Savannah is the oldest city in Georgia. Known to be America’s first planned city, Savannah originally had 24 squares, of which 22 squares now exist. A rare and important map of Savannah attributed to Peter Gordon is a key highlight of this upcoming sale, presented by Everard Auctions and Appraisals. It features the original squares with the Savannah River and Hutchinson Island in the foreground. The engraving bears the caption, ‘A View of Savanah as it Stood the 29th of March, 1734’. Further, it says ‘To the Honble the Trustees for establishing the Colony of Georgia in America, This View of the Town of Savanah is humbly dedicated by their Honours, Obliged and most Obedient Servant, Peter Gordon, Vue de Savanah dans la Georgie’. 

The sale also features an oil on canvas painting by German artist Edmund Osthaus (1858 – 1928). He was renowned for his depiction of dogs and hunting-related topics. The available lot was rendered by Osthaus in 1894. It showcases an English setter with a pheasant. Among furniture, a pair of Philip & Kelvin LaVerne occasional tables leads the listings. Made in 1965, the tables highlight figural and architectural scenes. Philip and his son Kelvin created innovative and limited-edition art pieces as a team.
