Resumen
La ciudad de La Plata, fundada en 1882 como nueva capital de la provincia de Buenos Aires, se convierte en símbolo de la civilización y el progreso. Para comprender el proceso de construcción de su paisaje urbano, se considera oportuno revisitar el concepto de paisaje en nuestros territorios, asociado a la dualidad desierto/progreso, evidenciado en la producción literaria y artística del siglo XIX. Este artículo estudia las fotografías documentales realizadas por Tomas Bradley entre 1882 y 1885. El fotógrafo es contratado para documentar la construcción de la nueva capital. El encargo tiene como resultado una serie de fotografías, que documentan las transformaciones territoriales producidas durante la construcción de la ciudad.
