This article proposes an interpretation of Isidro Fabela’s personal vision, since he’s one of the main intellectuals of the Revolution, since he is a collector and also responsible for the classification prevailing in his photographic archives. One of the keys enabling to read the images of this author’s private collection is precisely to include the classification employed by Isidro Fabela when he integrated different images to his personal archives. These choices refer to his participation with Venustiano Carranza’s revolutionary army which fought against the dictator Victoriano Huerta.
