EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Philippine Islands" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a significant moment in history. The image showcases the military drill and revolutions that took place in the Philippines during this time. It is evident from the photograph that there was an air of tension and anticipation within the country. The picture provides a glimpse into various aspects of life on these islands. From stamps to branches, seals to collections, every detail tells a story about the rich culture and heritage of the Philippine Islands. The principal seaward battery stands tall as a symbol of defense, while Manila City Walls remind us of its historical significance. Interestingly, this photo also sheds light on secret societies such as Freemasonry and Katipunan that played crucial roles in shaping Filipino society at that time. A striking element is the inclusion of a Freemason's apron, highlighting their influence within Asian communities. Through this photograph, we are transported to South East Asia - specifically Asia itself - where diverse cultures coexist harmoniously. The image beautifully captures not only Filipino individuals but also Asians as a whole. Bridgeman Images has done justice by preserving this remarkable piece of history through their fine art collection. This print serves as both an educational tool for understanding past events and an artistic masterpiece for appreciating early photography techniques used by English photographers during this era.
