This paper analyzes relations between the city, something produced by society, and its images as a social and historical productions. Here, for this purpose, I deal with the specific case of turn of the century Paris as it was depicted in the collection of picture postcards “Cartes postles illustrées de Paris”. While dealing with the problem of treating urban representation merely as a means of conveying political meaning, I propose a new approach to urban representational analysis, one that goes beyond the political or anti-political approach to the city.
