Miller traces the beginnings of the genre from the end of the 19th century as a product of an informative and documentary necessity. Later, she looks its high point, starting in the 1940s thanks to the rise of modernity which affected many artists and professors exiled in Europe and served to propel photography to new creative heights and quality. In the second book, she analyzes the popularization of photography as well as its inevitable participation in national competitions and biennials. <\/P>

This investigative research was done under the auspices of the Le\u00f3n Jimenes Group through its Centenary Collection, a compilation of books and disks accumulated for the preservation of the Dominican identity and cultural heritage in the areas of artistic, historic, folkloric and natural history.<\/P>
