A Pepohoan Dwelling c. 1868

"A Pepohoan Dwelling" is a photograph by Scottish photographer John Thomson, created circa 1868. It captures a glimpse into the life of a Pepohoan family in their modest dwelling, featuring thatched roof structures and a prominent papaya tree. The image, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, offers a poignant window into the daily lives and domestic spaces of indigenous communities in the Philippines, reflecting Thomson's documentary approach to photography.
