Légende

Georgetown, Penang, near Perak, in the Malay Peninsula, 1876. 'The nearest British settlement to Perak is that of Pulo Penang, or Prince of Wales's Island, from which nearly all our intelligence of the doings at Perak has been received. We give a view of its capital - Georgetown, situated at its northeast extremity, which has a good harbour...The outrage perpetrated by the Malays of Perak, in the Malay Peninsula, in the murder of Mr. W. J. Birch, the British Political Resident, has been punished by a military force...the combined English force took possession of Kinta, without loss...after a three days' severe march from Blanja, through twenty miles of jungle; that there was no serious opposition...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
