EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "MFC-A-004646-0031" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Manila during the mid-19th century. The image captures a remarkable scene - a buffalo harnessed to a wagon without wheels, with an unexpected passenger on its back. In this intriguing composition, we see a very young peasant boy dressed in humble work attire confidently perched atop the sturdy animal. His youthful face reflects both innocence and determination as he navigates through the busy city streets. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into the daily life and transportation methods of that era. The date of this photograph is estimated to be around 1863-1875, placing it within an important period of historical transition for Manila. As we delve deeper into this image's context, we uncover various themes such as zoology and zootechnics, anthropology, ethnography, folklore, and even population dynamics among Asiatic populations like Filipinos. Leonor de la Roca skillfully captured not only the unique mode of transportation but also managed to convey a sense of cultural identity through her lens. The presence of baskets nearby suggests that these objects may have held significance within Filipino culture at that time. As we contemplate this evocative photograph print from Alinari's collection, let us appreciate how it allows us to travel back in time and witness an ordinary moment transformed into something extraordinary. It serves as a reminder that history is not just about grand events but also encompasses everyday scenes that shape our understanding of different cultures and societies throughout time.
