EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by Harris & Ewing in the Philippines in 1912, offers a glimpse into the country's industrial past. The image depicts a canal or sewage works, an essential component of the developing infrastructure during the American colonial period. The United States had taken control of the Philippines following the Spanish-American War, and the implementation of modern systems for water transport and sanitation was a priority. The photograph shows a large, industrial building with tall chimneys, suggesting the presence of a treatment plant. Water flows through the canal, which is lined with pipes and structures, indicating the presence of a sewer system. The exterior of the building is adorned with glass windows, allowing natural light to filter in, while the surrounding area is barren and devoid of vegetation, reflecting the industrial nature of the site. The photograph was taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, who were prominent figures in the Harris Ewing Photographic Studio in Washington D.C. The studio was known for its high-quality glass negatives, which were used to produce this stunning image. The photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which documents the social, political, and cultural history of the United States during the early 20th century. This image provides a fascinating insight into the industrial development of the Philippines during the American colonial era and the role of the United States in shaping its infrastructure.
