The book was included in Parr & Badger volume I, page 81: "The images are close in style to those made by Paul Strand in Mexico in 1932–4, although Bruehl's pictures do not display the sense of suffering that colors much of Strand's work.... the kind of formalist modernism that does not even pretend to make any social analysis of what is being photographed."
