In 2010, the Spanish American Art Museum Isaac Fernandez Blanco received a donation from the sisters Fernandez and Fernandez consisting in a lot of wedding dresses and suits brought together by their grandmother Dominga Nicola from 1870 -date of his own wedding- and 1930, along with a hundred family photos gathered in two albums, and the book where Dominga or her daughter scored the marriages of the family in those years. Image, clothing, and word is articulated in a singular story of rituals and socialization practices of a middle-class immigrant family in that Buenos Aires at the turn of the century, but also a series of practices, historically registered, construction and organization of individual identities and gender roles and their inclusion in the social and cultural network of an era. From the research task involving the display and appreciation of this heritage, this article analyzes the role of fashion, clothing and portrait photography in the construction of such representations.
