The photograph for this colorized postcard captioned “‘Next to nature’ camping on the banks of a cool mountain stream” was taken by George Masa (1885-1933). The image shows Three Forks camp operated by Tom Alexander beside Big Pool on Raven Fork in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. An uncropped version of the photograph includes Masa’s identifying number O-5796. 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.
