Jean Mallat (1806-1863), a medical doctor, made three voyages to the Philippines, the first in 1838. His work, Les Philippines: Histoire, Géographie, Mœurs, Agriculture, Industrie, et Commerce des colonies Espagnoles dans l’Océanie, published by Arthus Bertrand, Paris, as three volumes (two volumes text and atlas) in 1846, rates probably the rarest of all 19th century French publications containing Philippine illustrated material.

Sensitive Content
Mapping Philippine Material Culture collates digital material from institutions, and some of this material is inherently colonial and contains words, terms and phrases that are inaccurate, derogatory and harmful towards Filipino and Filipino diasporic communities. Catalogue transcriptions, book titles, exhibition titles and museum titles may contain harmful terms. We recognise the potential for the material to cause physical and mental distress as well as evoke strong emotions. Owing to the scale of the collection’s data, a process to implement sensitive-content warnings in the displayed data is still incomplete. The material within the catalogue does not represent Mapping Philippine Material Culture’s views. Mapping Philippine Material Culture maintains a strong anti-colonial, anti-racist position and affirms its support for centring the humanity of historically marginalised and disenfranchised communities.
