As probably seen by Sophia Raffles, a lithographic print of a view of early Singapore, looking seaward from The Hill (Fort Canning Hill) showing the area between Freshwater Stream (Sungei Bras Basah) and Singapore River. The view is likely to have been drawn a few years before 1830, when it was published in Sophia, Lady Raffles' Memoir of the life and public services of Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles.
