PHOTOS OF "WAR" IN PHILIPPINES 1890-1901
Manila: No publisher stated, 1898. Wrappers. Very Good. Item #5031061
Offered here are 219 photos reprinted in early half-tones of photographs from the Spanish-American War in the Philippines. Uniform dimensions including borders 5 1/2" x 7 1/2". Whether these early reprints were individually produced or in a larger production I do not know, except to say that the uniform size suggests the former. Subjects widely varied but almost all related to Admiral Dewey's fleet, the war, and the aftermath inclusive of the subsequent war after the American took control. A sampling of subjects includes: U. S. military units at "rest" and in battle lines, Spanish soldiers and officers, insurgents, indigenous people, graves of dead soldiers, a handful of scaffolding and hangings pictures, landmark buildings, Dewey's ships, President McKinley's "funeral," indigenous bow & arrow and spear hunters, scantily clad women from Hawaii, soldiers holding skulls, children and families smoking cigars, personal daily prep and hygiene, much more. In generally very good condition. Just a few photos with edge tears. Some captions have been trimmed off or mostly off. Collectively this group is quite a picture of the war, the soldiers, and the people.
