Charles Clifford's work, A Photographic Scramble Through Spain, published by A. Marion between November 1861 and February 1862, serves as Spain's first photobook. This 48-page booklet begins with an introduction to Spanish monuments and Clifford's travel experiences, followed by a list of 171 photographs from page 30. The book likely aimed to accompany and promote his photo albums. Clifford's innovative approach connects his narrative with the photographs, offering a cohesive artistic journey through Spain. Despite Clifford's death in 1863 before completing a full copy, his project remains a significant milestone in 19th-century photography.
