This press photograph titled “Where the president may fish this summer” was taken by George Masa (1885-1933) and includes his identifying number in the left corner, O-1694. The stream is unknown, but presumably located in the Pisgah National Forest near Asheville, N. C. The photograph was taken as a part of a series featuring Calvin Coolidge’s visit to Asheville. This item is from the Hart Masa Collection, a collection of photographs, publications, postcards, correspondence, and ephemera related to the life and work of photographer George Masa. Known for his iconic images of the Southern Appalachian Mountains and his advocacy for the creation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Masa also produced commercial work for private businesses, publishers, news services, and other entities. The Hart Masa Collection was assembled by donors William A. Hart, Jr., and Alice Huff Hart, who provided much of the contextual information for the items in this collection.
