EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The centre of traffic - Singapore River and Kavanagh Bridge" takes us back to the bustling cityscape of Singapore in 1907. From the vantage point of the Surveyors office, we are granted an elevated view that encompasses a vibrant scene filled with activity. In this snapshot frozen in time, the Singapore River becomes the lifeline of transportation as numerous boats gracefully navigate its waters. Sampan boats glide alongside larger vessels, showcasing a diverse range of water transport options available during that era. The Kavanagh Bridge stands proudly in the center, connecting both sides of the river and serving as a vital link for commuters. As our eyes wander through this monochrome vista, we notice people going about their daily routines amidst this urban hubbub. Busy pedestrians can be seen crossing the bridge while others seek shade under parasols on riverfront promenades. The background is adorned with architectural marvels that define early 20th-century Singapore. This remarkable photograph not only captures a moment in history but also serves as a reminder of how transportation has evolved over time. It invites us to reflect on how cities like Singapore have transformed from humble beginnings into thriving metropolises. With its rich historical context and stunning composition, this print truly encapsulates an important geographical feature and offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into life at the turn of the century.
