The French in Singapore: An Illustrated History, 1819-todayEditions Didier Millet, 2011 - 239页 In 1819, when Sir Stamford Raffles founded Singapore, he was accompanied by two French naturalists.

Discover the colourful stories of personalities, such as J. Casteleyns (who built the first hostelry, the Hotel de l¿Europe, in 1857), Father Jean-Marie Beurel (who constructed the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd) and Alfred Clouët (who started the well-known Ayam Brand canned sardines business). Superbly illustrated with photographs, paintings, sketches, old documents and maps, The French in Singapore is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to discover the little-known history of the French in the Singapore we know today. |
