This exhibition was hung by Alfred Stieglitz, Paul B. Haviland, Max Weber and Clarence H. White. Wber designed the catalogue cover. The Invitation Section includes 220 works by 18 photographers from Europe, and 259 works by 19 American photographers. The Open Section of the exhibition includes 109 works by 36 photographers. There is also an addenda listing an additional 16 works by 8 photographers. Scarce and important. The Foreword is as follows: " THE aim of this exhibition is to sum up the development and progress of photography as a means of pictorial expression. The Invitation Section consists largely of the work of photographers of international reputation, American and foreign, whose work has been the chief factor in bringing photography to the position to which it has now attained. It comprises a number of "one-man's shows," and in many instances these exhibits include a number of prints executed quite recently. The prints in this entire section have been selected because of their intrinsic quality; while many have also the additional interest of marking special stages in its development. Many of these prints could be included only through the kindness of private collectors. In view of the comprehensiveness of this historical survey, the excellence and scope of the work of each individual represented here, and the evidence of the present-day vitality of Pictorial Photography, this exhibition at the Albright Art Gallery aims at something more thorough and definite than ever has been attempted heretofore in any previous exhibition, either in America or abroad.
The Open Section was added to this exhibition to give all American photographers an opportunity of being represented; and such of their work was selected as proved to be of a sufficiently high standard to link it with the spirit and quality of the Invitation Section."
