Foreword by Alfred Stieglitz: p. 2:

This Exhibition is an integral part of my life.
The work exhibited is now shown for the first time.
Most of it has been produced within the last year.
The pictures are an integral part of their makers.
That I know.
Are the pictures or their makers an integral part of the America of tod-day?
That I am still endeavoring to know.
Because of that—the inevitability of this
Exhibition——American.

For the History of “291” refer to “Camera Work”.
✻”What is 291?”  See Camera Work, Number 47.
