Antonio Luna and Nellie Bousted- ca 1888-1890, Paris
The only photograph known to exist featuring both Luna and Boustead.
This extremely rare historical photograph captures both what appears to be an enamored Antonio Luna and the reputed object of his (and Dr. Jose Rizal’s) affections, the enchanting French/English/Filipino mestiza, Nellie Boustead. Other identified subjects include Nellie’s younger sister Adelina (sitting beside Nellie) and another Filipino ilustrado, Pedro Paterno.

The supposed 'love triangle" which involved two of the country's national heroes, who in the decade after this photograph was taken became greatly involved in the struggle for Philippine independence, replete as it is with tales of romance and intrigue has been a source of fascination and debate for many. The facts surrounding the duel by sword that Luna proposed to Rizal for Boustead's hand (or at least her honor) have since reached such fantastic and mythical proportions that it has become a challenge to separate history from legend.

Most historian’s agree that both friends were smitten by Boustead's grace, manner and pedigree. It’s believed that alcohol played a big part in an altercation, which ended in the duel challenge. It’s said that after Luna sobered up, his brother, the famous painter Juan, told Antonio he owed their mutual compadre a vigorous apology. Luna did, in fact, apologize and even later followed up with a letter giving his friend Rizal his blessing to court Nellie exclusively.

Fast forward to the present time and even a cursory internet search for 'Luna Boustead Rizal' will garner myriad comments and conjectures. Today, the story about the beauty who melted the hearts of two of the most famous Filipinos in history continues to intrigue, excite, and grow.

Challenging three centuries of Spanish colonial rule, Filipinos first declared their independence on June 12, 1898. That day, leaders of the Philippine Revolution gathered in the city of Cavite, where Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed the country's freedom from Spain.
