EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the iconic Raffles Statue in Singapore, part of the Straits Settlements. The statue stands tall and proud, a symbol of the rich history and colonial heritage of this vibrant city-state. The image was taken by an English photographer in the early 20th century, showcasing the intricate details of the statue against a backdrop of historic architecture. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to the scene, emphasizing the grandeur and significance of this landmark. Originally featured on a set of cigarette cards depicting Asian scenes issued by Carreras in 1928, this photograph has since become a valuable piece in a private collection. It serves as a reminder of Singapore's past as well as its continued growth and development into a modern metropolis. As we gaze upon this vintage image, we are transported back in time to an era when Singapore was known as one of the most important trading ports in Southeast Asia. The Raffles Statue stands as a tribute to Sir Stamford Raffles, who played a pivotal role in shaping the history and culture of this dynamic city. Overall, this print is not just an artistic representation but also a historical document that captures the essence of Singapore's unique identity.
