EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures members of the Gaddanes Cagayan ethnic group from the late 19th century in Southeast Asia. The Gaddanes people, also known as the Tingguian or Tinggians, are an indigenous group native to the Cagayan Valley in the northern Philippines. This ethnographic image offers a glimpse into their rich cultural heritage during the colonial era. Dressed in their traditional attire, the subjects of the photograph exude a sense of pride and resilience. The women wear intricately designed woven skirts, blouses adorned with beads and shells, and headdresses made of feathers and leaves. The men are seen wearing loincloths and carrying weapons, such as spears and shields. Their pierced ears and noses are adorned with various forms of jewelry. The photograph was likely taken during the late 1800s or early 1900s, a time when the Spanish colonial empire was exerting significant influence over the region. The ethnographic interest in documenting indigenous cultures was on the rise, and this photograph is an important reminder of the diverse and complex history of the Philippines during this era. The albumen print process, a popular photographic technique during the late 1800s, was used to capture the intricate details of the subjects' clothing and facial features. The vintage aesthetic of the photograph adds to its allure, transporting us back in time and offering a unique perspective into the lives of the Gaddanes people during the colonial period.
