According the comparison between text and image, there is always a continuous question: Is there a system submitted to another one or are there two different enunciate regiments that express similar positions? Trying to explaining the second hypothesis, we are going to analyse some 1897 Canudos pictures from Flavio de Barros. On the studying basis of Roland Barthes and Umberto Eco, as the structural narrative of analysis and theirs visual code, respectively, we are going to show the potentiality certain narrative pictures, which work like nuclei or as indexes, when mobilized the perceptive codes of the receivers.
