The aim of this paper is to present the documentary and journalistic attributes of photographs of the 1898 Cuba war published in three Spanish magazines of that epoch: La Ilustración Española y Americana, Blanco y Negro, and Nuevo Mundo. Results obtained on a 345 photographs sample show an insufficient biographical and temporal identification. General shots and static figures prevail, there are no war actions at all, and pictures have a small size. Main conclusions of this analysis are: a) There is a scant informative transparency, and an excessive use of archive photographs. b) There is a very distant and artificial vision of war, not cruel, except for the repatriation of the defeated episode. c) Photographs have a simple illustrative task.Downloads
