Photographic registers of the Triple Alliance War (1864-1870), which involved Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay against Paraguay, were, in a general sense, part of the same genre of commercial photography from the period. But it were, also, more than this. The work at the field, among armies and corpses, brought new manners of seeing the war and developed the photography as autonomous visual language, with many differences comparing with painting or engraving.
