Description:

|
| Separately issued promotional city plan of Singapore with a border advertising businesses current to the city in the mid 20th century. The map itself is both in English and Chinese and the emphasis is very much on the commercial and retail strength of the city. It marks the location of such firms as John Manners and Co., The East Asiatic Co. Ltd, The American Lloyd Agency Ltd and Sime Darby and Co. among many others. The Cricket Club, the Raffles Museum and the Raffles Hotel are marked for more leisurely pursuits. Printed colour. SL [SEAS4965] |
