Cette source historique contribue indi- rectement à les dépeindre comme étant une nation de marchands, de navigateurs peu aptes à se défendre sur terre, mais habiles à la guerre sur mer ; une image des Néerlandais déjà bien ancrée en Europe à la même époque. Il y a cependant certaines nuances à expliquer et, dans le cas des derniers tomes parus en 1671, cer- tains propos semblent contradictoires avec l’opinion exprimée dans ses travaux précédents sur les mérites du commerce étran- ger dans le développement des colonies françaises des Antilles.

Abstract - This article addresses the different roles embo- died by the Dutch in the French missionary Jean-Baptiste du Tertre’s chronicles. The dominican, long accustomed with the Dutch alterity, depicts them as a seafaring nation of merchants poor at handling land combat but otherwise competent at waging naval warfare - a widely held representation of the Dutch in Eu- rope in the second half of the 17th Century. However, there are nuances in the manner in which they are perceived by the author. In the case of the last two tomes that were published in 1671, some remarks concerning foreign commerce contradict the opi- nion he held in earlier works.

The current paper comes as an analysis of the figurative representations of Antiquity in the Familia magazine, during 1865 and 1880. The pictures have been sorted into three main categories: the “present antiquity”, incorporating the photographic representations of the still-standing monuments, the “imaginary antiquity”, representing often fanciful reconstruction of monuments not visible anymore or scenes from the ancient history and the “local antiquity”, reproducing images of the roman ruins from the Danube’s area.
What appears as obvious is the selective representation of antiquity, the wish of the magazine’s editor to tell a story, to offer interesting information and thus – even if with the cost of some historical inexactitudes – to create a certain cultural background for his reader.
