Abstract

One hundred years have passed from the beginning of World War I, in which intervened countries as Portugal and Brazil. The press, dubbed “Paper Bullet”, became a centerpiece in propaganda in favor and against war.  The illustrated press was particularly relevant in this process.  This research aims to describe how the illustrated British magazine O Espelho [The Mirror], written in Portuguese and widespread in Portugal and Brazil , presented the World War I. It was concluded that the magazine was presented as informative, but that their texts and images are propagandistic and anti-German , which is understandable given that O Espelho was one of the illustrated magazines edited by the War Propaganda Bureau to universally spread the British points of view on the conflict.
