An introduction by Lorser Feitelson precedes the illustrations. The manuscript for Feitelson's introduction, dated June 4, 1965, is located in the Smithsonian Archives of American Art. The artist Lorser Feitelson (1898-1978) is known as one of the founding fathers of the Southern California-based hard-edge painting. Born in Brooklyn, NY, the photographer Joe Schwartz (1913-2013) concentrated on commercial art as a student at Alexander Hamilton High School where he also began experimenting with an inexpensive camera. An activist engaged in street politics, he photographed the condition of the poor and downtrodden. He was inspired to join the Photo League by his friend and fellow photographer Dave Robbins in 1936. As a member of the Photo League, he shared a commitment to portraying the lives of America's working people with fellow League members Sid Grossman, Eugene Smith, Dorothea Lange, and Margaret Bourke-White. David Robbins (1912-1981) was a Photo League photographer from 1936 through 1951. Fine .

Gisele Freund [1908 or 1912-2000] was a German-born French photographer, known for her documentary photographs and portraits of writers and artists. A socialist activist and a Jew, she fled Hitler's Germany in 1933 and escaped to Paris with her negatives strapped to her body to hide them from the border guards. In Paris, she knew and photographed many of the leading artists of her time, including James Joyce, Colette, Andre Malraux, Andre Gide, Cocteau and Virginia Woolf, as well as Sylvia Beach of Shakespeare and Company.

Natalia Danesi Murray [1901-1994] was born in Italy. She emigrated to the United States in 1924 and married music critic William B. Murray, whom she divorced in the mid- 1930s. She worked in journalism and publishing and was appointed vice president of Rizzoli Editore in 1966. She became the lover of Janet Flanner, arranging for the publication of her uncollected writings after her death and editing Flanner's "Darlinghissima: Letters to a Friend", published by Random House in 1985.
