The Port of Manila - A Glimpse into 19th Century Philippines
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This chromolitho print, titled "The Port of Manila" offers a fascinating window into the bustling maritime trade hub that was Manila in the late 19th or early 20th century. The artwork, part of a series on the Philippines, showcases the city's vibrant harbor teeming with ships from around the world. As we delve into this historical image, we are transported to an era where card games were educational tools and Liebig cards provided valuable insights about different cultures. In this particular scene, we witness a lively port filled with diverse architectural wonders lining its coastline. Majestic buildings stand tall against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean while cannons and guns hint at fortifications protecting this vital trading center. The presence of Filipino locals in their traditional costumes adds depth to our understanding of South East Asian culture during that time. The Pasig River flows gracefully through the heart of Manila, connecting it to other parts of Asia and facilitating trade routes that brought goods from far-flung corners of the world. Through this meticulously crafted print by Bridgeman Images, we catch a glimpse not only into Manila's rich maritime history but also its significance as an Asian economic powerhouse. It serves as a reminder that ports like these played pivotal roles in shaping global commerce and cultural exchange throughout history.
