A Journey Through Singapore – Travellers’ impressions of time gone by –

“… It was a time of transition, at the close of the last century and the beginning of the present, when the early world travellers flowed east. When personal snapshots were augmented by photographs from the professional studios of Lambert and Underwood and the souvenir to bring home was a walking stick of Malacca cane or a camphor wood chest.

A Journey Through Singapore is a gift from that time gone by. The most evocative of passages from travel memoirs have been selected and skillfully arranged to give the impression of one visitor’s experience and this delightful text is further highlighted by more than 185 archival-quality pictures, many of which are published here for the very first time. …”
