From the Preface: "If Julien Levy's name is unknown in the history of photography, the fault is not due to his natural modesty, but rather the sketchy and shallow research we have given to the history of photography between the World Wars. This catalogue attempts to record the passion and good judgement of a collector [Julien Levy] of photographs, whose influence has already been felt, although it has gone unrecognized."
