Many of the photographs in this circa 1928 brochure for the Battery Park Hotel in Asheville, North Carolina were taken by George Masa (1885-1933). The exceptions are the interior images of the hotel, which are not known to be Masa’s. The brochure includes information about the hotel and the surrounding Asheville area. 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.
