A plowing scene on the outskirts of Manila, shown here as a stereograph card, offers a close look at farm work in the Philippines in the early twentieth century. Water buffalo, known locally as carabao, were the main draft animals for plowing rice and other fields, and the pairing of animal and plow is the image's central subject.
