A transcendent and poetic image of a simple subject, “Platte River Cottonwood Tree” by Dean W Hand, 1960. Original photograph mounted on mat board. Please see our other listings for a collection of stunning mid 20th century photographs by Dean W Hand”. Mat board approximately 12.9” x 15.9” image size 7.8” x 9.5”. There’s a submission stamp on the back from the Los Angeles county fair exhibition but it doesn’t make much sense as it’s dated 1958 and this photograph is dated 1960.
