EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1912 showcases the bustling streets of Manila, Philippines. Known as Escolta, this historic road was one of the first ever created in Manila back in 1594. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, with its vibrant colors and lively street scene. As you gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, you can't help but be transported to early 20th century Philippines. The street is lined with an array of shops and stores, offering a glimpse into the country's thriving commerce at that time. People bustle about on foot while others traverse along tracks for transportation. The presence of telegraph wires crisscrossing above adds an element of communication and connectivity to the picture. It serves as a reminder that even then, telecommunications played a vital role in connecting people across distances. The tinted hues give the photograph an ethereal quality, enhancing its nostalgic charm. This postcard-worthy image offers us a window into Filipino life during this period - capturing not just buildings and roads but also glimpses into daily routines and interactions. Preserved by The Print Collector29, this historical artifact stands as a testament to both Manila's rich heritage and the enduring power of photography to capture moments that would otherwise fade away with time.
