Singapore: A Pictorial History 1819-2000 by Gretchen Liu
In less than two centuries, Singapore has transformed itself from a small coastal kampong into a modern metropolis. After the arrival of Sir Stamford Raffles. Singapore grew from a humble village into a thriving colony, then was designated a Straits Settlement, and in 1965 became an independent nation state. Over 1,200 images--photographs, paintings, lithographs and engravings--and accompanying text, tell the story of Singapore. Many of the images have never been published before.
Gretchen Liu is a successful editor and author. Her focus is on documenting Singapore's rich cultural and historical heritage.
