EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "MFC-A-004646-0033" transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Manila during the mid-19th century. The image showcases a full-length portrait of a young milk vendor, exuding an air of humility and tradition through his attire. Clad in traditional clothing, he stands tall with pride, holding a pole from which two amphoras hang gracefully. Beside him stands a young woman with long hair cascading down her back, captured in profile. Her presence adds depth to the scene, hinting at perhaps a romantic connection or simply highlighting the diversity of individuals engaged in various vocations within this vibrant city. The year this photograph was taken falls between 1863 and 1875, offering us a rare glimpse into the fashion and clothing styles prevalent among Filipinos during that era. Both subjects wear hats or headdresses that reflect their civilian status while embracing their cultural heritage. Leonor de la Roca skillfully captures not only these individuals but also provides valuable insight into the ethnography and folklore surrounding Asiatic populations such as Filipinos. This photo serves as an anthropological treasure trove for those interested in studying population dynamics and nationalities from bygone eras. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry by Alinari, let us take a moment to appreciate its historical significance rather than focusing on any commercial use it may hold. Through Leonor de la Roca's lens, we are transported to another time - one filled with rich traditions, hardworking vendors like our milk seller here who played vital roles within society yet often went unnoticed amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life.
