Flooded Street Scene with Armed Local Man and Civilians, Philippines, Early 1900s (Carl Stone Collection)
A street scene from the early 1900s Philippines shows local residents wading through a flooded road past horse-drawn carts and wood-frame buildings. A man in the foreground wears a bandolier of ammunition, a reminder of the unsettled conditions in the archipelago following the Spanish-American and Philippine-American Wars, when American forces and Filipino communities navigated a period of ongoing transition.
