EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Tofani, titled "Narcisso Chinese trade fair, Daraga, Philippines" takes us on a visual journey to the vibrant world of 19th-century Philippines. The print was created to illustrate Dr. J. Montano's story "Journey to the Philippines" and was published in Le Tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages in 1884. The image transports us to a bustling Chinese trade fair in Daraga, where we witness the fusion of cultures and traditions. A young woman dressed in an exquisite Asian costume becomes the focal point of this scene. Her beauty and elegance are accentuated by her carefully chosen accessories that adorn her attire. The artist skillfully captures not only her physical appearance but also hints at her coquetry and allure as she engages with those around her. The intricate details of the engraving allow us to appreciate every delicate feature of this mysterious woman. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into a time long gone – when different cultures converged at these fairs, exchanging goods and ideas. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and diversity that shaped the Philippines. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully preserves this historical piece for our enjoyment today. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back in time – captivated by its timeless beauty and fascinated by its cultural significance.
