This is a page taken from the Parisian weekly magazine Journal des Voyages. It contains writeups on the "Ethnography of the Far East" and "The Types of Singapore", detailing the different ethnic communities residing in Singapore. Illustrations of the peoples of Singapore are featured, reproduced from sketches by German artist Christian Wilhelm Allers who passed through Singapore in his round the world tour in the late 19th century. These portraits include that of a young boy working at the port, an old Malay fisherman, two Malay boys chatting, and a Bengali policeman.
