title: [Images of public health: the institutionalisation of the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz in Brazil].
abstract: In this article, the authors uncover the key role of photographic activity in the institutionalizing and validating of the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (IOC) during the first half of the twentieth century. Photographic images not only increasingly accompanied their scientific work, but also became a central tool for promoting the activities of the IOC. The images included in this article reveal the importance of photographic activity in the institutional construction of the IOC.
