EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling Market Square in Iloilo, Panay, Philippines, during the historic voyage of H.M.S. Challenger from 1872 to 1876. Funded by the British Government for scientific purposes, the Challenger expedition is renowned as the first to carry an official photographer, documenting the diverse flora, fauna, and cultures encountered during their journey through East Asia. In the foreground of this image, a horse-drawn cart laden with goods navigates the crowded square, surrounded by a vibrant assembly of locals and their animals. The equid, a member of the large order of Eutheria, known as Hippomorpha, is a common sight in this part of Asia. The horse, a domesticated mammal of the family Equidae, plays a crucial role in the daily life of the community, serving as a primary mode of transportation and a source of labor. The Challenger expedition's archive, an invaluable collection of historical records and images, offers a unique glimpse into the past, revealing the richness and diversity of the Asian continent during the late 19th century. This photograph, in particular, encapsulates the spirit of adventure and discovery that characterized the Challenger expedition, as it chronicles the encounters between Western explorers and the local population, providing a fascinating window into the past. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to witness the historic moment when the world became a little more connected, as the wonders of the East met the curiosity and determination of the West.
