Malaysia. Map of the Malay Peninsula, pub Edward Stanford, 1911. Very large (66 inches x 50 inches approx) 64 panel map backed on linen folding into a slipcase, the latter with touches of wear but solid. Two inset maps show Singapore Town and a juncture map extending the map northwards. The map is in good condition, the colours still bright. 1911 was the final iteration of the map, which was produced for planters and colonial officials. To the verso are a few stamps for 'Malay Hall', indicating that it once belonged to the Malaya Students Hostel in London in Bryanston Square. It was a residential club for young scholars and administrators in training from Malaya and, as such. was frequented by men who would go on to become prominent politicians back home.
