Two Remarkable Maps of Singapore and the Malay Peninsula
Rare map of Singapore City and the Malay Peninsula (Malaysia) issued by the Singapore Japanese Club.
On one side, the map shows Singapore City, now the Downtown Core of Singapore, extending from Keppel Harbor to the Seaview Hotel and inland to Newton.
The map shows streets and business names in both Japanese / Chinese and English.
On the other side, the map shows the Malay Peninsula from Kedah to Johore and Singapore Island. Notes provinces, roads, rail lines, and major topographical features. At sea, shipping lines are noted.
The maps are drawn from the surveys of F.M.S. (Federated Malay States).
This map was published by the Singapore Japanese Club for its member in 1938. It was printed by the Dai-Nippon Printing Company of Japan. A later edition, appearing in Showa 17 or 1942 was printed by the Arai Printing Company (Arai Insatsujo).
Rarity
The map was acquired from Geographicus in 2017. At the time, the seller reported locating only three examples in institutional collections.
