EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back in time to the bustling streets of Manila in the early 1900s. The focal point of the image is a grand horsedrawn carriage, known as "La Escolta" majestically making its way down La Escolta Street - the main thoroughfare of the city. This iconic mode of transportation was often reserved for esteemed individuals, and here we witness an archbishop being chauffeured through town. The scene is filled with energy and activity as people line the sidewalks, eagerly observing this regal procession. The architecture of the surrounding buildings showcases a blend of colonial influences mixed with local design elements, reflecting Manila's rich cultural heritage. Amidst all this commotion, various shops catch our attention. Displaying their wares in storefront windows, these establishments add a touch of commercialism to an otherwise historical moment frozen in time. Captured by Rischgitz/Hulton Archive/Getty Images, this remarkable photograph encapsulates both the charm and dynamism that defined early 20th-century Manila. With its landscape format emphasizing every intricate detail within each frame, it serves as a visual testament to Asia's evolving urban landscapes during that era. This print from Fine Art Storehouse allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also provides us with a glimpse into history – reminding us how much has changed while preserving memories that continue to inspire generations today.
