Introductory text written by Joaquin Ezquerra del Bayo (1863-1942) who considered the show as: 'the first step to the knowledge of this subject, whose production was almost unknown in Spain ... , so besides contributing to the discovery of the artistic technique, that in past centuries was a substitute for modern photos, it made easy for artists of this art genre (considered to be minor) to be known’.
