Interior de una casa en Manila (Cayda) [Interior of a House in Manila. (Fall)]

Description

hand-coloured lithograph. EXTREMELY RARE – this image has not come on the market for decades.

Magnificent view from “Album Filipino-Trajes y costumbres de Manila y sus cercanias”,
This print shows us a laid back afternoon scene. The supporting byline found underneath, which reads “traces y costumers de Manila y sus cercanias” or “Costumes and Customs of Manila and its Surroundings” shows the artist’s intent to capture the everyday splendor of Manila.
All images from the ALBUM FILIPINO are considered virtually impossible to find as they hardly ever come on the private market for decades, and if ever, then in generally poor condition, requiring major restoration works – unlike this specimen.
