Size 10.5 x 9 Inches. A rare example of John Henry Moor's 1837 Notices of the Indian Archipelago , containing within the most important early map of Singapore, as well as otherwise lost reprints of important articles from the Singapore Chronicle , and additional maps of Penang, Singapore Strait, the East Indian Archipelago, Malacca, and Borneo. Moor's work is considered one of the most significant records of early Singapore and one of the first books published in Singapore. The Map of Singapore The highlight of the work is J. B. Tassin and George Drumgoole Coleman's spectacular Map of the Town and Environs of Singapore (1 : 11000; 19.5 x 24.75 in). Oriented roughly to the northeast, this is the most significant map of Singapore of the 19th century, being instrumental in the early establishment of streets and sub-communities, as well as subsequent urbanization. In quality and scope, it surpasses all previous and subsequent plans until the 1881 Survey Department map. Although not published until 1836, due to the need to engrave and print in Calcutta, the map reflects Coleman's surveys of 1829. Unlike the sole earlier map of Singapore, the 1822 Jackson Plan, Coleman's map reflects a comprehensive on-the-ground survey, offering expansive coverage with granular physical detail as regards terrain, land use, roads, rivers, jungle, mangrove swamps, cleared land for sugar and cotton plantations, gambir plantations, pepper plantations, Chinese vegetable farms, sireh gardens, rice fields, brick kilns, and more. It notes lands reserved for Hussein Mohamed Shah (1776 - 1835), Sultan of Johore. Of note, the map details the Bugis Village on the shores of the Rochor and Kellang Rivers. The Bugis were a trading people originally from Sulawesi, who relocated to Singapore after falling afoul of Dutch traders in Riau (where they had established a community in exile). They were a significant influence on Singapore's early growth as a trading center, but gradually dwindled in the later 19th century. The further map details many of the most important buildings in early Singapore, several of which were designed by Coleman himself. These include the Singapore Institute (Raffles Institute), the English Church, the Armenian Church, the fortifications at the Battery and Government Hill. Also of note, is Presentment Bridge, the first to cross the Singapore River, built in 1823 and demolished in 1844. It may be of note that Coleman and Moor knew each other well. Not only did they live and work in the same circles within Singapore Society, but Coleman was the Director of Public Works who built the Singapore Institute, where Moor served as headmaster. The Singapore Straits Map The second map of interest is Tassin's chart of Singapore Strait, a general reduction of the Daniel Ross chart of 1830, based on hydrographic work completed in 1827. Ross (1780 - 1849) was serving at the time as the Hydrographer of the East India Company. Singapore is located just north of center, with coverage embracing from Great Carimon to Bintang, and from the Johore River to Pulo Gallang. There are depth soundings throughout, in fathoms, as well as several profile views. Ross's chart was included to underscore's Singapore's ideal situation as a gateway from the Indian Ocean to the China Sea. Penang Island Map Another map of great interest details Penang Island, then known as Prince of Wales Island, its capital at Georgetown, and the adjacent province of Wellesley. Georgetown was founded on Pu.…
