From the introduction: "With the object of enabling amateurs to look at the best photographs of our days over and over again at their convenience, the "Unione Fotografica" have started the publication of a series of "Cahiers", the first of which is devoted to Italian photography. The various pictures shown have been chosen out of 3000 works which have mostly been sent to the "Unione" by invitation and, although the selection has indeed been very strict, it has notwithstanding led to the discovery of some new talent which has proved well worthy of appearing side by side with the best-known names in photography."
