EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century wood engraving, titled "Milkman of Manilla," showcases a man from the Philippines in traditional attire, expertly trotting along with his bamboo milk arrangement. The image, published in the "Illustrated London News" in 1857, offers a glimpse into the daily life of a Filipino milkman during that era. The man is dressed in Asian clothing, donning a conical hat, also known as a "basket hat" or "salakot," and a rice hat, which is worn over the conical hat to protect against the sun. His bare feet are calloused from long hours of walking, and he carries a large yoke across his shoulders, harnessing two cows that follow him obediently. The milkman is seen wearing a simple, loose-fitting dress, which is common in the tropical climate of the Philippines. In his hands, he holds a pair of large bamboo containers, balanced precariously on a yoke, from which the milk is extracted. The milkman's expression is focused and determined, as he skillfully manages his cows and milk, ensuring a steady supply for the community. A cigar clenched between his teeth adds an intriguing detail to this image. This full-length, black and white wood engraving offers a fascinating window into the past, showcasing the occupation, fashion, and daily life of a Filipino milkman during the 19th century. The intricate details of the man's clothing, the animals, and the surroundings make this print an essential addition to any collection of historical imagery.
