EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the bustling Pasig River in Manila, Philippines, circa 1910. The image showcases a multitude of small boats gracefully gliding through the tranquil waters, each one telling its own unique story of daily life on the river.
The vibrant colors and intricate details in this postcard transport us back in time to an era when Manila was still under American colonial rule. The hustle and bustle of activity along the riverbanks is evident as locals go about their daily routines, while tourists may have marveled at the picturesque sight before them.
The historic significance of this photograph cannot be understated, as it offers a glimpse into a bygone era when traditional wooden boats were a common mode of transportation for many residents living along the Pasig River. These boats served as lifelines for communities situated along its banks, connecting people to markets, homes, and workplaces.
As we admire this piece of history captured on film over a century ago, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that defines Manila and its surrounding waterways. This postcard serves as both a visual delight and a poignant reminder of how much has changed since those simpler times on the Pasig River.
