This 1920s brochure titled, “‘In the Land of the Sky’ Asheville Biltmore-Hotel, Asheville, N.C.” displays photographs taken by George Masa (1885-1933). Also included is information about “Asheville’s newest modern hotel” built in 1926, some of the area’s attractions, and a road map of a portion of the eastern United States. 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.
