Bahia de Manila, 1899 - Atlas de Filipinas by José Algué

About the artwork

Published in 1899 as Plate 25 of the Atlas de Filipinas, this map documents Manila Bay and its surrounding territories with a circular inset plan of the city of Manila at center. The atlas was a collection of 30 maps produced by Filipino draftsmen under the direction of Father José Algué, S.J., Director of the Manila Observatory, and lithographed by A. Hoen & Co. in Baltimore. It was published at the precise moment of transition from Spanish to American colonial administration, making it one of the most historically significant cartographic documents of the Philippine archipelago.
