Group of six photographs, five of which explicitly depict the hanging of two rebels at Pozorrubio, Pangasinan, Philippines; the sixth showing members of Company B, 13th U.S. Infantry, who were stationed at Pozorrubio. The condemned men are almost certainly Benito Amansec and Severo Parsan, who were convicted of having been "in command of an armed party of outlaws which at night time entered Pozorrubio and taking from their homes four unoffending men proceeded at once to kill them by shooting them with rifles until they were dead" (Hearings Before the Committee on the Philippines of the United States Senate, April 10, 1902). The men were believed to be members of a band of rebels led by Vicente Prado, who had ordered the murders after the victims revealed his location to the Americans. They were executed on December 14, 1900. The photographs shows the sequence of events in stark detail, beginning with construction of the scaffold, then showing the procession leading the condemned men, then a priest giving them last rites, hoods being placed on their heads, and finally their hanging bodies. Images are 4.5 x 6.5 inches, mounted on slightly larger boards. No photographer is identified, but five have numbers at the lower left (74, 76, 79, 82, 85) suggesting a professional.

Two albumen cabinet card photographs showing the execution of a Philippine lardrone or insurgent by African-American Buffalo Soldiers during the Philippine-American War. The photographs both measure 6.75” x 4.75” and are mounted on 9” x 7” dark grey cards. The two photographs show the hanging of a Philippine ladrone (bandit) or insurgent by African-American soldiers. The first image shows the Filipino standing on the gallows with noose around his neck as an officer, probably the regimental adjutant, reads the execution officer. Two Catholic Filipino priests stand nearby the prisoner. African-American Buffalo Soldiers stand around the gallows to witness the hanging. The second image shows the executed Filipino hanging beneath the now empty gallows as several Buffalo Soldiers look on. Five Buffalo Soldier regiments were among the U.S. regiments that deployed to the Philippines to quell both the insurrection and lawlessness that ensued following the abandonment of the islands by Spain following the Spanish-American War. All served with distinction and were among the most proficient units of the American force. Perhaps the best of the Buffalo Soldier units was the 26th Infantry, which virtually cleared the Zambales province of insurgents and cut-throat bandits. While not the only American unit to capture insurgents and ladrones, it was the only Buffalo Soldier regiment to officially execute a few of them when found guilty of murder by a military tribunal. A very scarce pair of photographs documenting the execution of Filipino ladrones and insurgents by African-American soldiers during the Philippine-American War. [From dealer description]
