The objective of this work is to interpret and understand the symbolic construction of the image of the city of Rio de Janeiro, based on the reading of the Carioca landscapes presented in postcards. A reflection on the representations of tropical paradise and the modern city is presented using postcards for the period 1900-1930. The dominant theme identified is that of a distinctive ordering of paradise in which Rio de Janeiro is protrayed as the marvelous city and becomes its mark to this day.
