Panguingui (Card-Playing) in Manilla, [Philippines], 1857. Engraving of a '...Sketch of a Card-party - or, as card-playing is here called, Panguingui; the parties being given in little bamboo huts, furnished with a table and benches. The apartment is dimly lighted by a cocoa-nut oil lamp suspended from the ceiling, which illuminates the faces of the picturesque gamblers, and gives a theatrical effect to the scene. The striped shirts, old straw hats, and handkerchiefs bound round their heads, are more picturesque than would be a better-regulated costume. The women are also players. There is in the apartment, generally, an old cock, tied by the leg, for "the rooster" is everywhere ; talk of "the Gallic cock," he is nothing to the Manilla chanticleer'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
