This fragile, heavily creased fragment forms part of a segmented panoramic photograph of Manila taken during the World War II era. Though damage to the original print obscures much of the scene, the visible rooftops and street activity offer a glimpse of the city's built environment during a period of intense wartime upheaval, including the devastating 1945 Battle of Manila. Preserved despite significant deterioration, this fragment underscores both the historical value and the physical fragility of wartime photographic archives. Project: 218491
