EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, dating back to circa 1850, transports us to the enchanting islands of the Philippines. The image showcases a Bisayan couple from Samar, an island in the eastern part of this archipelago nation. Their traditional attire and serene expressions provide a glimpse into their way of life during that era. The focus is on the male figure who stands tall, proudly carrying an earthenware pot nestled within a woven basket. This vessel symbolizes not only practicality but also hints at their rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship. Under his arm rests a chicken, perhaps indicating its significance as both sustenance and companionship in their daily existence. Beside him stands his Filipina partner, radiating grace and elegance. Her colorful dress complements her natural beauty while reflecting her vibrant personality. Together, they embody resilience and unity amidst the challenges faced by their community. The lithograph's artist Bayot has skillfully captured this moment in time with intricate details and vivid colors that bring these historical figures to life once more. Preserved through generations, this artwork serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of Filipino culture. As we gaze upon this portrait today, we are reminded of our shared humanity across time and distance – celebrating diversity while cherishing our common bonds as inhabitants of this beautiful planet.
