This brochure titled “Grove Park Inn ‘Finest resort hotel in the world’ Sunset Mountain Asheville, N.C.” includes seven photographs, all taken by George Masa (1885-1933). The brochure includes a road map of the southeastern United States and is copyright by A.A.A in 1928. Established in 1922 as a franchise of the American Automobile Association, the Carolina Motor Club published many tourist brochures for the region. 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.
