List2928Luzon Philippines likely early 20th century. Seventeen photographs: six measuring 3 ½ x 8 inches five measuring 4 ¾ x 6 ½ inches five measuring 3 ¼ x 3 ¾ inches and one measuring 4 x 5 inches. With Brown Brothers stamps and captions verso; some with editorial overpainting. Worn with some folding missing corners and small tears; excellent contrast; overall very good plus. The US occupation of the Philippines began with Spain’s cession of the islands to the US in 1898 and ended with the Treaty of Manila of 1946. Offered here is a small collection of photographs likely shortly postdating the Philippine-American war showing civilian life and industry in occupied Philippines especially the island of Luzon. The photos show copra processing—dried coconut flesh from which coconut oil is made—timber cutting and cigar and cigarette production. All three were and are important industries in the Philippines but tobacco in particular seems to have had a hold on the populace. Several of the photographs show young children smoking large cigars; one is captioned “A youthful smoker of Manila. The Filipinos smoke cigarettes from the cradle and cigars not long after.†Others show well-dressed young schoolgirls toddlers playing in a miniature nipa hut and panoramic views of the Pasig River and Manila Bay. Of interest to historians of the Philippines’ American colonial period especially its agricultural and productive history. unknown
