EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the bustling exterior of Manila, the capital city of Luzon Island in the Philippines, as seen during the historic voyage of H.M.S. Challenger between 1872 and 1876. Funded by the British Government for scientific purposes, the Challenger expedition is renowned as the first to carry an official photographer, documenting the wonders of the deep sea and various lands they visited in their extensive journey. The image portrays a vibrant scene of Manila's urban landscape, with a mix of Asian and Western architectural influences. The photograph showcases a South East Asian city in daytime, with buildings lining the streets, and the East Asian sun casting long shadows. The image transports us back to an era of exploration and discovery, as the Challenger expedition sailed through the waters of Southeast Asia, documenting their findings for the benefit of the scientific community. The photograph is part of an extensive collection of images from the Challenger expedition, which continues to be an invaluable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of exploration and the natural world. This photograph, in particular, offers a unique glimpse into the bustling city of Manila during the late 19th century, providing a fascinating window into the past.
