"I have examined numerous postcards from the Circuncaribe (Area comprising the islands of the Antilles, the southern countries of Central America and the Atlantic coasts of Colombia and Venezuela). In parallel, I have attended to the study of other iconographic vestiges; always with the mentality that all the images, the dialogue with and between them, as well as the theoretical proposals with which they are analyzed, enrich the possibilities that my reflections on the postcards are more solid. Within this immense theme, my career specialized in photographic postcards of Costa Rica. Thus, in this work, the objective has been to study a set of postcards created by David Gomes Casseres, postcards that were published in Puerto Limón around 1907, and that circulated on the Tico Caribbean coast approximately until 1920, to reach circuncaribe, North American and European territorys. The work has consisted of the search, rescue and interpretation of photographic images integrated into the collection that Gomes Casseres called Banana Series. The iconological analysis of such visual vestiges reveals the intentionality in the construction of modernizing imaginaries of the circuncaribe area, just as it has allowed to discover different and attractive signs of a hidden history; signs that imperceptibly crept into the photographic moments. To reach the findings it has been important to maintain a dynamic and constant questioning, "until the image gets tired" and tells us how much it 'keeps secrets'" (HKB Translation) --Verso Cover.
