In observance of the Philippine Centennial of its Declaration of Independence, the Gallery of Prints presents its first publication - a coffee table book - "The Philippines in the 19th Century" by Rudolf J.H. Lietz.
Showing the Philippines a century past in her multifarious wonders, the book is divided into eight chapters: (1) Voyages, (2) Maps, (3) Ornithology, (4) Botany, (5) Costumes and People, (6) Manila Scenes - Rural Landscapes, (7) Illustrated Magazines, and (8) Spanish-American War - Philippine Struggle for Independence.
All featured images are prints either still in the collection of the Gallery of Prints or held in the past and now in private hands.
