新加坡 Singapore City 市區圖 [City plan of Singapore] // Singapore [island inset]
A reproduction of a bilingual English and Chinese street plan of Singapore from about 1963, showing the city just before independence. It runs from Keppel Harbour and Tanjong Pagar through Chinatown and the civic centre to Orchard Road and Kallang, naming streets in both languages and marking hotels, cinemas and schools. Vanished landmarks include the National Theatre and Van Kleef Aquarium beside Fort Canning, Outram Prison next to Pearl’s Hill, Raffles Institution at Bras Basah and Kallang’s tidal swamp. Names such as Istana Negara, the National Library and the Thai Consulate date the original to 1960–65, and an island inset shows the airport at Paya Lebar. This copy is printed in grey halftone; neither the original’s publisher nor the reproduction date is known.
