Description	An amazing aerial view of Georgetown was presented in this oil painting of the city by Harper Bond in 1901 for display in the Georgetown booth at the Charleston Exposition of 1902. This large painting today hangs in the City Hall. The painting was executed during the administration of Mayor W.D.Morgan and shows some of the 2,000 trees planted by the city during Morgan's time. The artist was reported to have individually measured each structure and block to paint what appears as an aerial view of the city at the turn of the century.
