Popis: The article is about the survival of imagery that is present in iconographic representations of the city of São Luís of Maranhão. In distinct supports and by using as a foundation the notion of “origin” developed by Walter Benjamin, it discusses the idea of a visuality of the city that has been reinvented in different periods of time, showing heterogeneous exchanges of glances and time frames in order to reveal a primitive imagery restoration process that is always updated.
