Glimpses of Old Cebu: Images of the Colonial Era

Cebu'a progress as a town and then as a young city is chronicled in the book through pictures of streets, private and government edifices and public works projects. These are complemented with pictures taken of different towns, their churches, prominent streets and public infrastructure. The very rare photos of war against the Americans, the slaying of four American teachers in 1902, the great typhoon of 1912, the first Cebu carnival in 1914, the sensational Fuente murders in 1915 - these are but just a few of the many significant moments in Cebu's history that are also chronicled in this book.
