Pulo Penang," 1835: A Captivating View of Penang Island, Malaya, from the Strait of Malacca This image, titled "Pulo Penang," depicts a stunning view of Penang Island in Malaya, located in the Strait of Malacca, South East Asia. The photograph, created in the 19th century, is an engraving from "Views in India, China and on the Shores of the Red Sea," Vol. II, published by Fisher, Son & Co. of London in 1835. The image showcases the natural beauty of Penang Island, with its lush greenery, including banana trees and palm trees, contrasting against the clear blue waters of the sea. The island, also known as Prince of Wales Island, is situated off the northwest coast of Peninsular Malaysia and was an important trading post during the colonial era. The scene is named after Commander Robert Elliott, who served as the British Resident of Penang from 1826 to 1830. The image may have been inspired by his time on the island or his travels through the region. The name "Pulo Penang" is derived from the Malay word "pulo," meaning "island." The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and natural beauty of Penang Island and the surrounding area during the 19th century. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of the exotic lands and waters of South East Asia, which continue to captivate and inspire travelers and adventurers to this day. The engraving is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images of Asia, and its intricate details and fine craftsmanship make it a beautiful addition to any home or office. The image is a reminder of the importance of preserving our cultural and historical heritage and celebrating the natural wonders of our world.
