Eilers 1878-1951, Haarlem, 2003 (Monografieën van Nederlandse fotografen 12; Catalogus van de tentoonstelling van Eilers' werk gehouden van 21 november 2003 t/m 29 februari 2004), pg. 42-44: "In 1916 a number of Eilers' photographs were first published in Architectura, since 1893 the mouthpiece of Arti et Amicitiae. A year later he confirmed his affinity with the circle of Amsterdam architects by becoming a member of the society. At Arti et Amicitiae Eilers no doubt closely followed the founding of the new magazine Wendingen which succeeded Architectura in 1918." (...) "In 1925 a selection of Eiler's photographs were dispatched to the Exposition des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels in Paris. The Dutch pavilion designed by J.F. Staal and the exhibitions Wijdeveld mounted, created a disproportionate emphasis on the Amsterdam movement. 'Paris' meant official recognition of the Amsterdam School as the exponent of Dutch architecture, much to the dismay of dissenters as Theo van Doesburg. Eiler's photographs - 38 x 48 enlargements - hung in testimony to his unique position as the School's preferred photographer: Van der Mey's Scheepvaarthuis, De Klerk's and Kramer's housing blocks, the country homes in Park Meerwijk, Gratama's working class dwellings, Vorkink's and Wormser's Villa 't Reigersnest, Kramer's interiors e tutti quanti - it was a feast of recognition for followers of the movement, but a chamber of horrors for functionalists and constructivists."
