The photograph for this postcard captioned “Greybeard and motor road from top of Pinnacle ‘In the Land of the Sky’” was likely taken by Herbert W. Pelton (1879-1961). The number 1498 is found in the lower left corner. 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.
