This press photograph titled "A view the president may see on his vacation” showing the Nantahala Gorge from near Topton, N. C. was taken by George Masa (1885-1933). His identifying number is in the left corner, O-2814. A postcard was made from the same image and is titled “Sunrise, Nantahala Gorge, North Carolina” published by Deuel News Co. Asheville, N. C. Another similar postcard titled, “Sunrise in Nantahala Gorge, western North Carolina” published by Asheville Post Card Co. is attributed to Masa. 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.
