From the preface:
 

"Look at the photos of Paris, and think of Cartier-Bresson or the great postcards of Yvon. Look at all the Greek photographs. Did he learn from Constantine Manos? No, they were taken almost ten years earlier than Manos's wonderful A Greek Portfolio. American pictures - before Robert Frank. And so on. McCabe, for reasons I do not fully understand, has given us a treasure trove of images, each one thoroughly rewarding. How fortunate we are to have this collection by a photographer whose name is not well known, but should be."
