EDITORS COMMENTS
Vue de Manille; Les Terres Du Pacifique" (View of Manila, The Lands of the Pacific), created in 1914, is an evocative photograph that transports us back in time to the bustling waterfront of Manila, Philippines, during the early 20th century. The image, published in "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree," captures the vibrant scene of the Pasig River, where traditional houseboats and boats are anchored, serving as the primary means of transportation and trade in this bustling port city. Manila, the capital city of the Philippines, is depicted as a thriving hub of maritime activity, with numerous boats and ships of various sizes and shapes filling the harbor. The waterfront is dotted with houses, factories, and warehouses, reflecting the rich cultural and commercial exchange that characterized the region during this period. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the people who lived and worked along the Pasig River, with men and women going about their business, children playing, and boats loading and unloading goods. The image also highlights the natural beauty of the area, with lush greenery and clear blue waters providing a striking contrast to the industrial activity. Despite the passage of time, this photograph remains an important historical record of Manila's past as a major trading center in the Pacific region. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of the waterfront, which continues to be a vital part of the city's identity and economy today. The photograph's creator remains unknown, but their work captures the essence of a bygone era, inviting us to explore the history and culture of Manila and the Pacific region in a unique and captivating way.
