These are images of bygone Cebu. I was at SM City Cebu, May 1st last year, for a photo exhibit and book launching of Lucy Urgello Miller's book, as titled. Pictures showcase a peek into her book, a vast collection of photos and postcards of old Cebu. According to the Philippine Star article, these “photos were taken between 1899 to 1940 with the bulk of the photos and postcards being between 1910-1920”.
Feel free to share! Enjoy!
