EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph, taken circa 1895, captures the essence of two youthful Chinese businessmen in Singapore, celebrating the successful sealing of a mutually beneficial trade deal. The gentlemen, dressed in high-quality suits and smart hats, exude an air of sophistication and confidence. The man on the right, with a boater hat placed on the small table, raises a glass of imported Bordeaux wine, while his associate, also dressed impeccably, looks on approvingly. The celebratory drink and picture mark a significant moment in their business endeavors, reflecting the entrepreneurial spirit and determination that characterized the late 19th century business scene in Asia. The flat cap, or 'boater,' was a popular accessory among the fashionable elite of the time, adding to the overall dapper appearance of the pair. This historical image, with its timeless composition and intriguing story, is a testament to the rich cultural and commercial history of Singapore and China during this period."
