EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Manila, Philippines, circa 1880. As we gaze upon this cityscape frozen in the 19th century, we are reminded of the rich history and colonial influence that shaped the Philippines during this era. The image showcases a bustling scene with a bridge spanning across a river, connecting different parts of the city. The buildings stand tall along the riverbanks, displaying architectural styles influenced by Spanish colonialism. Palm trees sway gracefully in the background, adding a touch of tropical charm to the landscape. Water transport plays a significant role as boats glide through the calm waters beneath the bridge. This engraving captures not only transportation but also highlights how geography played an essential part in shaping life in Manila at that time. The monochrome color palette adds depth and nostalgia to this snapshot from long ago. It invites us to reflect on how much has changed since then while appreciating how certain elements have remained constant throughout history. As we admire this print created by an unknown artist, it serves as a reminder of Manila's vibrant past and its transformation into one of Asia's most dynamic cities today.
