EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "View of Puerto de Cavite, Spanish Port in Manila Bay, Philippines," is a hand-colored copperplate engraving from Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World, published in Florence, Italy, in 1844. The print is based on a painting by Duche de Vancy and J.M. Moreau le Jeune, as documented in La Perouse Expedition. The scene depicts a tranquil Manila Bay, with the Spanish port of Puerto de Cavite prominently featured in the background. A group of Tagalog people in traditional attire are shown aboard an outrigger boat, seemingly heading towards the port. The intricate details of the boats, the port facilities, and the people are beautifully rendered, providing a glimpse into the daily life of the region during the 19th century. The Puerto de Cavite was a significant Spanish colonial port, serving as a gateway to the Philippines and a vital trading hub. The Tagalog people, who are indigenous to the Luzon Island in the Philippines, have a rich cultural heritage that is reflected in their traditional attire and boats. The outrigger boats, with their distinctive design and construction, were an essential mode of transportation for the local population, enabling them to navigate the waters of Manila Bay and the surrounding areas. This stunning illustration is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of the Spanish colonial period in the Philippines and offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the Tagalog people during that time. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the hand-colored copperplate engraving make it a valuable addition to any collection of historical and cultural art.
