Description:
|
|
Large antique sea chart of Singapore Strait with extraordinary detail on the waterways around Singapore Island.
Modelled on the J.T. Thomson chart of 1855, this survey was first published in 1911 with a major update in 1921 and small corrections up to 1927. A large blank inset on the lower right has been added to this issue of the chart suggesting that preparation was under way to add further detail. As it is blank at this time, this example is likely to have been a proof copy and published in very small numbers. Original hand colour. [Tube] [SEAS4920] |
