EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century photograph, titled "Market Women of Manilla, 1857," transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Manila, the Philippines. The image, published in the renowned British weekly newspaper, "Illustrated London News," showcases a vibrant street scene filled with Filipina women engaged in their daily activities. The women, dressed in traditional attire, are adorned with colorful fabrics, intricately patterned skirts, and various headwear, including the iconic Asian conical hat and the farmers hat, also known as the coolie hat or rice hat. The black and white wood engraving highlights the stark contrast between the women's richly colored clothing and the monochrome background. The marketplace, teeming with activity, serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage and the bustling trade that once thrived in Manila. The women, with their determined expressions and focused demeanor, embody the resilience and strength of the indigenous people of the Philippines. This photograph, a fascinating glimpse into the past, offers a unique perspective into the lives of the local Filipina women during the 19th century. It is a reminder of the diverse and intriguing history that connects the Philippines to the rest of the world, as documented by the "Illustrated London News" and preserved for future generations.
