Spanish term

cuadernillos

Spanish to English Art/Literary Printing & Publishing
A description of a pubication of photographs released in Argentina in the 30s. Is it just notebooks?

Una mención especial merecen los retratos del alemán Hans Mann, tomados a comienzos de los años treinta en las orillas del río Pilcomayo, en el Gran Chaco, de indígenas habitantes del territorio. El trabajo se publica en dos cuadernillos de gran calidad gráfica, junto con relatos de sus tradiciones escritos por el polifacético artista Carybé.

Thanks

albums

Somehow, "notebooks" doesn't quite work for me in this context. Although "albums" might first bring to mind homemade albums with photos pasted in them, the term is also used for fine art publications of photos. Here's one example: https://www.amazon.com/New-York-Non-Stop-Photographic-Album/...
Another example: https://www.worldcat.org/title/photographic-album-of-british...

Spanish term (edited): cuadernillo

booklet

Or album. But not notebook, which is used by the artist and is not a published text.

Actually "album" is not perfect because it says nothing about the size, whereas a booklet has a limited number of pages.
