Typhoon Storm Damage on Manila Boulevard with Streetcars, Early 1900s Philippines
Storm-felled trees line a Manila boulevard in the aftermath of a typhoon, photographed in the early 1900s. Electric streetcars and a period automobile share the tracks amid the debris, offering a rare glimpse of urban Manila's infrastructure and the natural disasters that periodically disrupted daily life during the early American colonial era in the Philippines.
