'Each theme is discursively treated in a preliminary essay, but the book is also a catalogue of the exhibition of the same title shown in Manchester in May 1961 and in Dublin during the following month. This larger enterprise grew out of a purely photographic exhibition held in Reading University in 1957' - Preface.
