Scholarly Remarks and Key Set Data
Remarks
The dates for this photograph and Key Set numbers 1595, 1596, 1597, and 1598 are based on the condition of the dying poplar trees (see, for comparison, Key Set numbers 1467–1470, 1475, 1502, 1550–1552, 1575–1577), and references in the Stieglitz–O’Keeffe correspondence (YCAL).
