EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "House on stilts and fishermen in Singapore Harbour, 1898" takes us back to a bygone era. Created by Christian Wilhelm Allers as part of his book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), this print beautifully captures the essence of life in Singapore during the late 19th century. The image showcases an unusual architectural marvel - a house built on stilts amidst the bustling harbour. This unique building stands tall above the water, defying gravity with its intricate design. Surrounding it are fishing boats dotting the South China Sea, manned by skilled fisherman going about their daily routines. Allers' attention to detail transports us into this picturesque scene from another time. The composition highlights both technological advancements and traditional practices of transportation at sea. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and adaptability in creating structures that harmonize with nature's elements. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot, we can almost feel the salty breeze brushing against our faces while immersing ourselves in literature and geography simultaneously. The print evokes a sense of wonderment for those who appreciate art, architecture, history, or simply seek inspiration from different cultures. Preserved through time by The Print Collector collection, this lithograph allows us to delve into Singapore's rich maritime heritage while celebrating Christian Wilhelm Allers' artistic prowess.
