After Charles Walker Kinloch

After the tinted lithograph in Kinloch's Rambles in Java and the Straits in 1852 by a Bengal Civilian, London, 1853: 'The best view of the town and the surrounding country is to be had from the summit of the Government Hill; from this point, there is an extensive panoramic view, which comprises the whole of the town and shipping, and several of the adjacent hills.' For views of the settlement by Kinloch, aconvalescent visitor from Calcutta, see M. Teo, Yu-Chee Chong and J. Oh, Nineteenth Century Prints of Singapore, Singapore, 1987, p.85, pls 30-31. This view shows the Padang, Raffles Institution, and the St Andrew's Church, with Coleman Street running to the right of the church.
