Abstract

The image, by its double iconic and textual interface, seems to be the prerogative of travel account. The visible joins the legible like at the good old times, when writing, which was above all a type of drawing, was invented. The iconic confi gurations change, permute as if seeking an identity and an entity according to the traveller, the author and the expected representation. Delacroix in his «Memories of a Voyage to Morocco» is not Foucauld in his «Recognition in Morocco», and so on.

Our intervention will focus on this method of insertion of the image in the travel account and its taxonomy in this literature, which was highly in vogue at the XIX century.

Thus, it will be question of detecting the logic of the presence ipso facto of the image in this scriptural genre. Then, we will tackle the pictorial side and the maps and drawings which unite with the picturesque and the literary to give an indication of the visible thanks to the legible in an attempt to restore the past as of memories maintained vivid in watercolours and travel notebooks. This represents a true instrument panel.
