Increasingly, images, whether photographs, drawings, sculptures or others, play an important role in society, whether in the scientific, literary or everyday life fields. The use of images is frequent in book covers and other documents, as they tend to represent thecontents, aspects which, if considered, can help in the indexical representation of information items’themes. The aim of this research is to analyze four widely known literary fiction covers atthe iconographic level, in order to identify elements that may represent the contents of the respective books. Methodology: applied, exploratory and qualitative research, based on Erwin Panofsky's iconographic analysis, using Armadillo photo software, which enables semi-automatic, natural or controlled image analysis. Results: metadata for retrieving the books analyzed and the construction of a thesaurus based on these elements, confirming the relationship between cover and content, sign and context.
