EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Spanish-American War, specifically focusing on the Philippine Question. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image offers a glimpse into the complex dynamics of that era. Intriguingly, the photograph showcases various elements that define this period. The backdrop features street scenes along the Pasig River, with architectural gems like the Church of San Pedro adding to its charm. Amidst these picturesque surroundings, one can spot Filipino insurgents and native ploughmen going about their daily lives. The central figure in this snapshot is General Emilio Aguinaldo, who served as a prominent leader during this time. His presence symbolizes both resistance against Spanish colonization and aspirations for independence among Filipinos. This print serves as a visual testament to not only historical events but also cultural diversity within Asia. It highlights how different communities coexisted in Manila's principal street known as Escolta. Preserved by Bridgeman Images from a private collection, this image invites viewers to delve into South East Asian history and reflect upon significant moments such as the Spanish-American War and its impact on nations like the Philippines.
