- Notes - The man's loose camisa de chino, dyed cotton pants, and buri hat are ideal for work outdoors. The woman is in a striped, low-necked baro--with a checkered alampay covering the shoulders--over a plaid skirt protected by a tapis wrapped around the waist. (Note: This is one of 12 lithographs reproduced by FHL in 2000 as a set of postcards highlighting 19th-century Philippine costumes. Caption from Fedor Jagor's Travels in the Philippines, 1873, reads as follows: The poorer Indian women clothe themselves in a saya, and in a so-called chemise, which is so extremely short that it frequently does not even reach the first fold of the former...A hat, trousers, and a shirt worn outside them, both made of coarse guinara cloth, compose the dress of the men of the poorer classes.")
