This school atlas contains maps that showcase the locations of schools in Singapore and Malaysia. The practice of creating a school atlas hailed from the British empire, with the goal of training students in atlas mapwork skills and improving their knowledge and understanding of the world. This atlas was published by George Philip and Son Limited, one of Britain’s oldest publishing houses specialising in maps and atlases.
