The paper brings an analysis over the cover of Geography schoolbooks. This analysis tries to reflect the possibilities of sense of reading which can be achieved by the image contents of the cover of these sort of book. We expect with such a perspective to develop the visual education to teachers and the students. The nowadays spatial experience is exposed as being very much influenced by the image production, which reinforce the importance of knowledge over the ways of seeing. Reflections over the visual language are developed, specially, considering on it the Roland Barthes studies. The author’s instruments of visual interpretation are applied over the cover of Geography Schoolbooks, what allow us to identify senses from the images, describing Geographic approaches and also a larger relevance for the representation of the minority groups.
