N1  - The woman's cotton saya is topped by a striped camisa with sleeves upturned at the cuffs. An embroidered pañuelo covers the bodice. She wears a Spanish comb in her hair and carries a veil for church. The man is in a long-sleeved tunic with a standing collar fringed with lace. Accessories include a satin stovepipe hat, a silk parasol, and pointed shoes.  (Note: This is one of 12 lithographs reproduced by FHL in 2000 as a set of postcards highlighting 19th-century Philippine costumes. Caption, from John Bowring's A Visit to the Philippine Islands, 1859: "The women wear gowns of the fabrics of the country into which, of late, the silks of China and the coloured yarns of Lancashire have been introduced. The better conditioned wear an embroiderd shawl or kerchief of piña. The dress of the Indians is nearly the same throughout the islands; the pantaloons of cotton or silk, white or striped with various colours..."); print
