Singapore : A Pictorial history 1819-2000

---

This richly illustrated coffee-table book chronicles Singapore’s dramatic transformation over nearly two centuries from a humble coastal village in 1819 to a thriving modern city-state by the year 2000. Written by Gretchen Liu, the narrative is anchored by more than 1,200 rare photographs, paintings, lithographs, and engravings, many drawn from archives in Singapore and abroad. The book is organized chronologically in five chapters, each covering major phases of Singapore’s development: its colonial beginnings, the growth of a cosmopolitan society, the wartime and post-war era, the road to independence, and its emergence as a global metropolis. Through its compelling visual and textual storytelling, the book offers an accessible yet deep exploration of the political, economic, social, and architectural changes that have shaped Singapore, making it ideal for both casual readers and history enthusiasts.
