The image showcases Sir Frederick A Weld, KCMG, Governor of the Straits Settlements, as he ceremoniously cuts the first sod of the Salangore Railway. The scene is filled with an air of anticipation and excitement as onlookers gather to witness this groundbreaking event. Dressed in formal attire, Sir Frederick stands tall with a determined expression on his face, symbolizing progress and modernization. The composition skillfully highlights both the governor's central role and the railway itself.
