General Remarks

Not recorded Whitney Archive. Abiquiú Notebooks indicates, "On Back: O'Keeffe handwriting, 'original'" [not verified]. "Original" is indicated on verso to distinguish the image from reproductions of it: O'Keeffe had the image reproduced as Christmas cards hat she sent to many friends and acquaintances. Pictured in 1923 New York (Anderson) Stieglitz installation photographs, see Appendix III, figures 20, 21. (Source: Lynes, 1999)
