Conway Mordaunt Shipley, a naval officer and artist who is known to have visited Singapore in the mid-19th century, finely-details in this watercolour a typical framing used during the period to represent Singapore. Depicting the landscape from a high viewpoint and emphasized further by the wide vistas and the silhouetted figures enroute to its interiors, Singapore from Signal hill highlights the development of the settlement in relation to its natural boundaries.
