EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1907, showcases the entrance to the Reservoir in Singapore, a testament to the city-state's rich history and engineering prowess. The image offers a glimpse into the past, as the waterworks system supplied essential water to the growing population. The entrance is adorned with intricately designed railings and a sturdy wall, serving as a barrier to protect the precious water resources. Behind the railings, a group of Travellers Palm trees (Ravenala madagascariensis) gracefully frame the scene. These iconic trees, native to Madagascar, were commonly used in colonial-era landscaping due to their tall, elegant trunks and broad, fan-shaped leaves. The Travellers Palms, with their exotic allure, add a touch of the tropical paradise that Singapore is known for. Their presence not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the entrance but also serves as a reminder of the diverse flora that thrives in this region. As you step through the gate, the soothing sound of water and the cool mist in the air would have greeted visitors, offering a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of colonial Singapore. This photograph, with its historical significance and natural beauty, invites us to imagine the past and appreciate the engineering marvels that continue to serve Singapore's water needs today.
