Beschrijving
Illustrated with paintings and drawings of the period, this volume aims to provide a compact historical overview of Penang and its expansion since its founding in 1786. The cosmopolitan nature of Penang is dealt with, along with its major attractions.
In 1786, Penang was part of the Muslim state of Kedah. Following the arrival of English trader Francis Light, it underwent both a change of name, to Prince of Wales Island, and status, becoming a major mercantile and shipping post, and the springboard for British expansion into South-East Asia. Illustrated throughout with contemporary paintings and drawings, this volume traces Penang's history from the 18th century to the 1930s, and fully captures its natural beauty and cosmopolitan atmosphere.
