This collection of cyanotype photographs shows scenes of the Philippine-American War. A continuation of the struggle for independence that began with the Philippine Revolution in 1896, the Philippine-American War was waged between the United States and the First Philippine Republic after the Philippines was annexed at the conclusion of the Spanish American War.

Included are views of the early part of the conflict, with photos related to the Battle of Manilla, the Battle of Caloocan, the Capture of Malolos, the Battle of Calumpit and the Battle of San Jacinto. A particularly powerful photograph shows the blood-stained wall of a room in Cavite. Another notable image shows a destroyed railroad bridge over the Bagbag River (also known as the Caniogan River). Located in Calumpit in the province of Bulacan, the Bagbag Bridge was the site of the first major conflict between the US and Philippine forces and the destruction of the bridge was a victory for the Philippine revolutionaries. There is a plaque at the bridge site today to commemorate the accomplishment. Some of the photos are kind gruesome, bringing the horrors of the war into sharp focus.

Also included in the collection is a rare portrait of Gregorio Hilar del Pilar y Sempio “The Boy General.”

The photographs were taken by C.F. O’Keefe, or one of his assistants. O’Keefe was the head of the Army’s photographic department in the Philippines, as well as a lieutenant in the 1st Colorado Infantry. He left for China in 1900, and was replaced by Corporal T Bourke of Company B Battalion of Engineers. Also included is a portrait of O’Keefe, posed atop a boat, standing next to a large camera and tripod.
