Eickemeyer was a leading Pictorialist photographer in the 1890s and early 1900s and one of the first two Americans admitted to The Linked Ring, along with Alfred Stieglitz.  He was a pioneer in the field of large format photography books, such as his portrayal of African Americans in Down South (1900).  He also was a very successful portrait photographer in New York, working some of the time in partnership with Charles Davis and at a different stage in his career, operating Alfred S. Campbell's gallery.  His widely reproduced photograph of Evelyn Nesbit on a bearskin rug is reproduced on the book's cover.
