A vintage portrait of a Filipina mestiza, colorized from a photo titled "Mujer de la clase rica" translated as "A woman of the wealthy class", ca 1875. The photo is considered as among the oldest Philippine photo of the peninsular class in 19th century Filipino society. Taken by the Dutch photographer Francisco van Camp, who was well known in the Philippines for his extremely refined portraiture. This photo of a woman with an almost other-worldly grace well deserves the attribution "one of the most beautiful images in 19th-century photography."
