Hand-Tinted View of Manila Bay from the Luneta Waterfront, Philippines
A hand-tinted view of Manila Bay, likely taken from the vicinity of the Luneta, shows steamships at anchor beyond a landscaped waterfront park. Colorized souvenir photographs like this were popular keepsakes for visitors and residents of Manila during the American colonial period, capturing the city's picturesque harbor in vivid, if artificially applied, color.
