This postcard depicts a ‘Chinese Street’ in Singapore, with rickshaws on one side and houses with laundry hung out to dry on the other, as people walk through the streets. The postcards composition is impressionistic, taking a ‘slice-of-life’ moment in a street, making it a good example of life in Singapore in the early 1900s.
