Remarks

The dates for this photograph and Key Set numbers 1063–1069 are based on similarities to Key Set number 1054 and other prints dated 1924. Probably referring to prints made prior to 1925, Stieglitz wrote to Sherwood Anderson on 5 July 1925, “I have been looking for years—50 upwards—at a particular sky line of simple hills—how can I tell the world in words what that line is—changing as it does every moment.—I’d love to get down what ‘that’ line has done for me—May be I have—somewhat—in those snapshots I’ve been doing the last few years” (YCAL and Newberry Library).
