Despite the debates that, towards 1839, confronted the daguerreotype with the traditional arts, photography and caricature began a fruitful relationship that would extend well into the new century. In this paper, we analyze this phenomenon in the Argentine illustrated press, focusing particularly on pioneering and exemplary Caras y Caretas magazine, which somehow laid the foundation for most of the subsequent local publications. By analyzing the different ways in which caricature interacted with photography, we intend to show the role these pioneering magazines played in the quick process of sophistication and visual training of the local public.
