Abstract
Photo romance novels fulfilled an educational function in that sector of society which had limited access to culture. In Spain, they were published from the mid-sixties to the end of the eighties and were extremely popular. They were characterized by their mono-thematic content (romantic novels) and a not very flexible style sheet. This article studies the use of photographs in the Spanish photo novels, using as a reference the leading collections published by the specialized companies. The work of the photographers are also analyzed using as a model: Lucecita, one of the most popular publications in the mid-1970sDownloads
