SynopsisA selection of topographic prints of places such as the harbour, Singapore River, Fort Canning Hill, as well as paintings of the cosmopolitan trade town and of tranquil rural scenes, the views presented in Singapore through 19th Century Paintings and Prints show the colonial port-city in its first century and constitute a historically significant source of information on Singapore's early development., Featuring an unmatched collection of topographic prints and glorious full-colour paintings this delightful volume takes readers on an intimate and revealing tour of Singapore through its first century of being. Often published diversely in Europe and America in the accounts of scientific voyages, travel books, and in bound folios, these works portray the experiences of 19th century travellers, reflecting their impressions, prejudices, and insights of life in the new colony. Distinguished by exceptional detail, Singapore Through 19th Century Prints & Paintings is an intriguing and insightful visual record of Singapore¿s past.
