Remarks
The snowstorm pictured here and in Key Set numbers
Stieglitz wrote to Rebecca Strand on 26 November 1923, “Well, there has been a blizzard. Knee high snow. Maddeningly beautiful. Georgia had a great time in it.—And I with camera large & tiny was at it.—” (YCAL). A few days later he wrote to Sherwood Anderson, “On Sunday we had a day of days—a blizzard—snow knee high. And you should have seen how we enjoyed it. All day out of doors. I photographing like possessed. O’Keeffe wandering about in the woods—& rushing down to the Lake—All awonder & we marched ourselves to the post office & enjoyed everything—every step—Beauty everywhere—Nothing but Beauty—” (28 November 1923, YCAL and Newberry Library).
