Summary
Since the last third of the 19th century, along with the process of nationalization of the Amazon, photographic technology was incorporated into the tasks of navigation, measurement and occupation of the territory, through the production, selection and exhibition of a series of mechanized images favoring «visual domestication» of the

internal border. The following work seeks to give an account of the early uses of photography by various State agencies in charge of exploration and early colonization of Amazonian border territories. The preparation and

consumption of the «official picture» of the jungle, will be discussed, i.e., those clichés produced by local political authorities (prefectures), commissions and scientific explorations entrusted by the central Government

(Ministries of Government & Promotion of Public Works), then selected for broadcast under various formats: illustrated, business publications, public exhibitions or in the periodic press.
