This press photograph taken by George Masa (1885-1933) is titled on the reverse “Rhododendron in Pisgah National Forest” in Masa’s handwriting and stamped Asheville Photo Company. An NEA stamp is dated June 13, 1931. Masa’s identifying number is in the left corner, O-4375. 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.
