EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 18th century showcases the men and women of St John, Philippines. The intricate details of their attire and costumes provide a glimpse into the fashion trends of that era. This print was created by an English School artist for Middleton's Complete System of Geography, a renowned publication during its time. The image captures not only the adults but also features children, emphasizing the importance of family in Filipino culture. The little ones add an element of innocence and playfulness to the scene, reminding us of the joys found within familial bonds. The women portrayed exude femininity and grace, while the men display strength and masculinity. Their presence reflects traditional gender roles prevalent in society at that time. Located in Southeast Asia, the Philippines has a rich history deeply rooted in Asian ethnicity. This engraving offers a window into this vibrant culture with its diverse population. Presented in black and white, this illustration evokes a sense of nostalgia as it transports us back to a different era. Its historical significance lies not only in depicting Filipino life but also highlighting how geography played an essential role in shaping societies throughout history. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and cultural significance without any commercial intent or use mentioned.
