About this product
Product Information
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.Product Identifiers
