The 1899 map of the Philippines, crafted by the Fort Dearborn Publishing Co., stands as a prized artifact of historical significance. Within its aged confines lies a meticulous depiction of the entire Philippine archipelago, an intricacy of detail that extends to the individual islands and provinces, each thoughtfully labeled. Notably, the map boasts supplementary insets spotlighting Manila Bay and the southern reaches of Mindanao.

This cartographic gem emerged in the aftermath of the Spanish-American War, an era when the United States assumed control of the Philippine Islands. It's plausible that this map was conceived to satiate the public's growing curiosity about this newly acquired territory. In the present day, it exists as a tangible connection to that transitional period in history.

Though the map has withstood the test of time reasonably well, the wear and tear of the years have left their faint mark. Nonetheless, it remains in relatively good condition, a testament to its durability. It is thoughtfully preserved, mounted on linen and encased within an unassuming yet charming wooden frame.

The Fort Dearborn Publishing Co.'s 1899 Map of the Philippines, in its rarity, holds a unique position as a historical document. It opens a window to the Philippines as it stood on the cusp of the 20th century, offering insights into its geography and the political context of the time. Collectors and enthusiasts would undoubtedly appreciate the opportunity to possess this piece of history.
