Manila puts its towers in the middle and its history at the edges, so the line has an old building at each end and glass in between. The heights step rather than climb.

What is in the drawing

A pavilion with a curved tiered roof opens the left, low and wide. A slim monument rises beside it, tapering to a point. Then the towers: a slab with a mast, a tapered block, plain rectangles at four different heights, one stepped at the top. A church front follows, wide and scalloped into arches under a shallow dome. A low walled block comes next, and a bell tower with a small dome closes the right.

Who buys it

Filipino-American households are the whole audience here and it is a large one, concentrated in California, Nevada and Texas. This is bought as a home city, so the old buildings at the ends matter more than the towers do.

Mug or canvas

2.024 leaves room against the proportion a ceramic print wants, so height decides it and the drawing fills the area. Ink at 0.089 keeps the arches across the church front distinct. The tiered pavilion roof on the left is the finest thing here, and 24 by 16 on canvas keeps its layers apart.
