In accordance with the ranks of Peter Burke, can be affirmed that: Images in allow &#039 them; imaginar' the past of lived form more. As suggested for the critic Stepaen Bann, our position face the face with an image in them places ' face the face with histria'.

From then on we can understand that the historians searching the agreement of the historical process of the societies had incorporated, as research objects, new sources.
