Carmelo and Bauermann
Carmelo and Bauermann (c. 1887 - 1965), sometimes as Carmelo y Bauermann, was a publishing house established in Manila by Don Eulalio Carmel y Lakandula (d. 1906), an artist-engraver, and William Bauermann, a German lithographer and cartographer, who was working for the Bureau of Forestry at the time. The firm operated out of 2057 Azcarraga. The press soon became one of the leaders in modern printing in the Philippines. Carmelo's son, Alfredo Casas Carmelo (1896-1985) was groomed to run the business from a young age, including a period studying lithographic printing in Germany. However, while in Germany he became fascinated with aviation and went on to become the first certified aviator in the Philippines and the leading Filipino aviator of his generation. He operated the printnig firm until 1938, at which point it was acquired as a subsidiary by Cacho Hermanos Inc (CHI) and Alfredo committed himself to aviation full-time. Carmelo and Bauermann continued to print into the 1960s and perhaps later as a subsidiary of CHI.

This is a 1911 John Bach map of the Philippines published in Manila. Provinces are illustrated, labeled, and shaded. Operating railroads on Luzon, Cebu, and Panay appear as thick black with stops noted. Red 'stars' made of bolts of electricity mark wireless telegraph stations: six appear on Luzon and another three operate on Mindanao. Two insets are situated in the upper right. One details the vicinity of Manila and the other the Babuyan Islands, Balintang Channel, and Batan Islands north of Luzon. A table in red along the left border provides overseas port connections with Manila and the shortest distance in nautical miles along with interisland connections between Manila, Cebu, Iloilo, and Zamboanga.
