EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1880s in the Philippines, captures a moment in time from the early 19th century South East Asian era. The image showcases the daily life of local men as they skillfully ride water buffalo through a rice paddy field. The water buffalo, a common mode of transportation and labor in rural areas during this period, are harnessed and yoked to plows or used for transportation. The men, dressed in traditional attire, appear focused and determined as they navigate the muddy terrain. The use of an albumen or collodion process adds to the historical authenticity of the photograph, providing a window into the past. This ethnographic image offers a glimpse into the cultural practices and daily life of indigenous communities in the Philippines during the late 19th century. The scene is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people, who relied on the oxen water buffalo for their livelihood and subsistence. This vintage plate is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs, providing a unique perspective into the history and ethnicity of South East Asia during the 19th century.
