A very rare map of Singapore

A plan of the developed south-east of the island of Singapore, on a scale of 5 inches to the mile, with names in Chinese and English. The information detailed includes named roads, public buildings, burial grounds, the racecourse, parks, hospitals and military installations. It covers from the Botanic Gardens top left, clockwise to Newton Railway Station (closed 1932), the mangrove swamps around Kallang (future site of the city's first airport) and the Geylang River, Tanjong Rhu (before the extensive reclamation), Chinatown, the Keppel Wharfs and Keppel Gold Club in its original position. An inset shows the complete island. This map is extremely rare: we have found no other example, and only one reference to Kohbunkwan, as a seller of books, magazines, newspapers and stationery on Middle Road (known to the Japanese community as Central Street) in the 1920 edition of The South Sea Yearbook. The mapping appears to be based on Stanford's map of Singapore for local publishers Fraser and Neave, probably the 1913 edition, as neither shows the Telok Ayer Reclamation completed 1923.
