EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches from Manilla and Hong-Kong (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the bustling streets of Manila and Hong Kong. The image showcases a rich tapestry of life in these vibrant Asian cities. In this engraving, we witness a scene filled with activity and diversity. A flood has overtaken the streets, but it doesn't dampen the spirit of its inhabitants. Philippine native infantry soldiers stand as sentinels in their full dress uniforms, while musicians fill the air with melodious tunes. Street scenes come alive with boats navigating through waterlogged pathways. The military presence is prominent, highlighting the importance of defense during this era. Officers are seen coordinating operations amidst the chaos caused by flooding. Sappers work diligently to ensure safe transport for both people and goods. Manila's townscape provides an intriguing backdrop for these events. Its architectural beauty shines through even in times of crisis, showcasing its resilience as a city. This artwork not only captures historical moments but also celebrates cultural diversity within Asia itself. It reminds us that despite differences in language or nationality, we are all connected by our shared experiences as humans. Bridgeman Images has once again brought to light an extraordinary piece from their Fine Art Finder collection that allows us to travel back in time and immerse ourselves in these fascinating scenes from Manila and Hong Kong's pasts.
