EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1880s in the Philippines, offers a glimpse into the daily lives of local girls and women during the 19th century. The scene unfolds in a serene outdoor setting, where several women and young girls are engaged in the communal activity of washing and getting their hair done. The women are dressed in traditional attire, their colorful garments adorned with intricate patterns and textures, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the region. The girls, with their youthful innocence and playful expressions, are seen splashing water and laughing amongst themselves, while the women attend to their hair, using various tools and natural ingredients for grooming. The photograph, taken using the albumen or collodion process, captures the delicate details of their clothing, the texture of their hair, and the natural beauty of their surroundings. This image provides a valuable ethnographic record of the daily life and customs of indigenous communities in South East Asia during the late 19th century. It offers a window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the unique cultural practices and traditions that have shaped the history and identity of the Philippines and the wider region. The photograph is a testament to the resilience and strength of these communities, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse cultural heritage of the world.
