This article presents the results of a graphic analysis of the images published in Chanaan, a magazine that circulated from 1936 to 1939, in the city of Vitória, capital of the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. For this purpose, a data collection form was developed aiming to systematize the observation of the graphic construction of the images, considering their typologies, visual construction, and the simultaneous use of ornamental, typographic and calligraphic elements. The collected data was automatically fed into a table that enabled the extraction of statistics and the creation of infographics for a clearer and more efficient presentation of the results. The images were separated into photography, page composition, illustration and photomontage categories, of which photography was the most recurrent kind in the collection. It was then apparent that the publication valued image content most, with a high level of experimentation in the composition of images and pages, seeking to portray the social and political life of the Capixaba elite and the prosperous development of the city.
