The Penang Turf Club, established in 1864, was British Malaya's second after the Singapore Sporting Club. It began on Macalister Road with a land grant of seven furlongs and 81 3/4 yards, with wood and attap buildings and stands. A popular social venue, by 1898 it was holding Spring and Autumn Meetings on Wednesdays and Saturdays, which were declared public holidays with the funicular railway running late services especially. It moved to Batu Gantong in 1939. Its President, Chancery lawyer Ong Huck Lim, kept the Club running under Japanese occupation, and saw to its rehabilitation post-war and during the Malayan Emergency. Its patrons were the Commissioner General of South East Asia Malcolm Macdonald, High Commissioner for the Federation Henry Gurney, succeeded by General Henry Templer after his assassination in October 1951, Sultan Yussuf Izzuddin Shah of Perak, Sultan Sir Badlishah Ibni Almarhum Sultan Abdul Hamid Halim Shah of Kedah, and Resident Commissioner for Penang and Province Wellesley Robert Porter Bingham. The Perak Turf Club, formed in 1886, held ordinary races for the Federated Malay States with major tournaments held at Penang, Selangor and Singapore. In 1934 it moved from Taiping to Ipoh. It continued to operate during the Japanese occupation, and was restored post-WW2, chaired by Captain OHM Sturges, ahead of a boom in the 1950s.

Very good. Quarto. quarter straight-grained Morocco overboards (expertly rebacked), spine retains original gilt lettering. Marbled edges. Complete with all maps present. Maps of Singapore, Singapore Strait, and Penang loose in volume with some verso repairs and reinforcements. Other maps bound into volume. Some maps exhibit foxing and transference, especially the Malacca Territory map and adjacent pages. Some foretext leaves exhibit minor repairs near spine. Dimensions reflect book, not maps. Size 10.5 x 9 Inches. A rare example of John Henry Moor's 1837 Notices of the Indian Archipelago , containing within the most important early map of Singapore, as well as otherwise lost reprints of important articles from the Singapore Chronicle , and additional maps of Penang, Singapore Strait, the East Indian Archipelago, Malacca, and Borneo. Moor's work is considered one of the most significant records of early Singapore and one of the first books published in Singapore. The Map of Singapore The highlight of the work is J. B. Tassin and George Drumgoole Coleman's spectacular Map of the Town and Environs of Singapore (1 : 11000; 19.5 x 24.75 in). Oriented roughly to the northeast, this is the most significant map of Singapore of the 19th century, being instrumental in the early establishment of streets and sub-communities, as well as subsequent urbanization. In quality and scope, it surpasses all previous and subsequent plans until the 1881 Survey Department map. Although not published until 1836, due to the need to engrave and print in Calcutta, the map reflects Coleman's surveys of 1829. Unlike the sole earlier map of Singapore, the 1822 Jackson Plan, Coleman's map reflects a comprehensive on-the-ground survey, offering expansive coverage with granular physical detail as regards terrain, land use, roads, rivers, jungle, mangrove swamps, cleared land for sugar and cotton plantations, gambir plantations, pepper plantations, Chinese vegetable farms, sireh gardens, rice fields, brick kilns, and more. It notes lands reserved for Hussein Mohamed Shah (1776 - 1835), Sultan of Johore. Of note, the map details the Bugis Village on the shores of the Rochor and Kellang Rivers. The Bugis were a trading people originally from Sulawesi, who relocated to Singapore after falling afoul of Dutch traders in Riau (where they had established a community in exile). They were a significant influence on Singapore's early growth as a trading center, but gradually dwindled in the later 19th century. The further map details many of the most important buildings in early Singapore, several of which were designed by Coleman himself. These include the Singapore Institute (Raffles Institute), the English Church, the Armenian Church, the fortifications at the Battery and Government Hill. Also of note, is Presentment Bridge, the first to cross the Singapore River, built in 1823 and demolished in 1844. It may be of note that Coleman and Moor knew each other well. Not only did they live and work in the same circles within Singapore Society, but Coleman was the Director of Public Works who built the Singapore Institute, where Moor served as headmaster. The Singapore Straits Map The second map of interest is Tassin's chart of Singapore Strait, a general reduction of the Daniel Ross chart of 1830, based on hydrographic work completed in 1827. Ross (1780 - 1849) was serving at the time as the Hydrographer of the East India Company. Singapore is located just north of center, with coverage embracing from Great Carimon to Bintang, and from the Johore River to Pulo Gallang. There are depth soundings throughout, in fathoms, as well as several profile views. Ross's chart was included to underscore's Singapore's ideal situation as a gateway from the Indian Ocean to the China Sea. Penang Island Map Another map of great interest details Penang Island, then known as Prince of Wales Island, its capital at Georgetown, and the adjacent province of Wellesley. Georgetown was founded on Pu.

Very good. Slight wear on old fold liens. Light foxing and offsetting at left. Size 14.25 x 19.25 Inches. A rare 1938 map of Penang, George Town that appeared in the Penang Information Guide . It reflects the city's diversity as well as the foundations of British colonial rule. A Closer Look The main portion of George Town is included, with reference to temples and a funicular hill railway beyond the scope of the map to the southwest. Recreation sites such as cinemas, parks, a racecourse, and polo grounds are prominently indicated, as are police and immigration facilities, including a dedicated 'Indian Immigration Depot.' Varied social clubs, religious sites, and cemeteries reveal the cosmopolitanism of George Town. Fort Cornwallis, situated at a point jutting out into the sea in the northeast corner of the city, was built by the British East India Company in the late 18th and early 19th century. Though imposing, it never saw combat and was designated a historic site in the 1970s. George Town: Crossroads of Cultures Britain acquired Penang Island in the late 18th century from the Kedah after offering military assistance to the Sultan, who was then facing both internal and external struggles. Initially conceived of as a stopover for naval vessels between India and China, Penang and its main settlement at George Town rapidly developed into a commercial center, aided by the free trade policies implemented by Francis Light, the founder of the colony. It first became an important center for the spice trade, then developed additional industries during the 19th century, and later attracted banks and other financial institutions, such as the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank (HSBC) and the Chartered Bank (of India, Australia and China) seen here. Due to its laissez-faire atmosphere, Penang became a destination for writers, revolutionaries, and drifters. Like other colonial entrepôts and treaty ports in East and Southeast Asia, George Town became known for its cosmopolitanism as well as its vice, particularly organized crime. Various communities contributed to its culture, while also comingling (the city had a visible and important 'Eurasian' minority of mixed-race heritage). Amid this diversity, however, there was racial discrimination and stratification. After the small number of British residents, other white settlers, and mixed-race 'Eurasians,' the Chinese, who primarily engaged in commercial activity, were generally better-off than Indians, who performed 'coolie' labor, and Malays, who primarily produced food through farming and fishing. The British crafted immigration and education policies that reinforced these divisions, further strengthening their preconceptions about the proper role of each group, while also inadvertently stoking tensions between these communities. Although inequality has improved since independence, the continued relative wealth of the Chinese community and the resentment it has provoked has often been a central tension in Malaysian politics, though recent elections suggest that this is changing. From Malaya to Malaysia British Malaya was a combination of quasi-independent protectorates like Kedah (the Unfederated States), more directly controlled but still nominally autonomous Federated States (based in Kuala Lumpur), and the Straits Settlements (Singapore, Penang, Malacca, and Dinding), which were crown colonies. Though all were enmeshed in a wider colonial system and often considered as part of a single entity, this tripartite system lasted until after the Second World War. Malaya was an important piece in Britain's global empire, especially as a source of tin and rubber, which also made the peninsula a target for a Japanese invasion in late 1941. Britain's defense of the peninsula was disastrous, culminating in the embarrassing surrender of Singapore, with Penang being captured less than two weeks after the Japanese invasion of Malaya began. The occupation was trying for all inhabitants, but especially ethni.
