Bemerkung:

"During the nineteenth century, much of Singapore's early growth and progress was recorded in the topographical prints published in Europe and America (...). This lavish publication marks the first effort to compile in a single volume the bulk of the prints indentified today. Fifty-two major prints which appeared between 1824 and 1870 are reproduced (...). These are augmented by over 20 minor prints published as small illustrations in books or illustrated newspapers (...). The detailed notes on the plates section give valuable information on the printers and publishers as well as on the artists and engravers of the prints" (Klappentext). - Schönes Exemplar.
