Entitled ‘Un coin du Detroit de Banca’, which when loosely translated means ‘one corner of the straits bank’, this photograph depicts Singapore Harbour near a Malay fishing village. It was taken by Sachtler and Co., which operated a studio in High Street from the early 1860s until 1874 where they sold photographs of various scenes around Singapore.
