EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1880s in the Philippines, captures a moment in the daily life of the local farmers during the 19th century. The image showcases a group of men, dressed in traditional attire, skillfully plowing a field using oxen as their primary source of power. The serene landscape, dotted with lush greenery and small huts, provides a glimpse into the ethnic and cultural richness of South East Asia during this era. The use of oxen for agriculture was a common practice among indigenous communities in the Philippines and other parts of South East Asia, as they were easily accessible and more cost-effective than other forms of labor. The men in the photograph appear focused and determined, their bodies moving in harmony with the oxen as they work the land. This photograph is an invaluable ethnographic record of the past, offering insights into the agricultural practices and daily life of communities that have since undergone significant changes. The use of albumen or collodion processes in the creation of this photograph adds to its historical significance, as these techniques were popular during the late 19th century and were often used to document the world around us. This image invites us to reflect on the history and cultural diversity of South East Asia, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating our shared heritage. Whether for personal use or for educational and research purposes, this photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images.
