EDITORS COMMENTS
Manilla Water-Carrier, 1857" is an intriguing black and white wood engraving that captures the daily life of a Filipino water-carrier in Manila, Philippines during the 19th century. The image, published in the "Illustrated London News" in 1857, depicts several barefoot men carrying large quantities of water in bamboo tubes slung over their shoulders. The men's bodies are in full view, their muscles taut from the laborious task of transporting water from the source to the consumers. The scene is a common sight in Manila at the time, as the city's water supply was limited, and the responsibility of procuring it fell on the shoulders of the bhishtis or water-carriers. The men would fill their bamboo tubes at the nearest water source, often several yards away, and carry them to their clients, who would pay a small fee for the service. The wood engraving provides a glimpse into the daily life of the Filipino people during the British colonial era, offering a window into their occupation, culture, and way of life. The image is a testament to their resilience and resourcefulness, as they adapted to the challenges of their environment and the demands of their clients. The "Manilla Water-Carrier, 1857" is an essential addition to any collection of historical images, offering a unique perspective on a bygone era. The engraving's intricate details and the authenticity of the scene make it a valuable piece of historical documentation, shedding light on the lives of the people who lived in the Philippines during the 19th century. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich history and diverse cultures that have shaped the Philippines, and it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and historical significance. The "Manilla Water-Carrier, 1857" is a testament to the power of photography and the written word to transport us to another time and place, offering us a glimpse into the past and a deeper understanding of the world around us.
