The Mapping of Singapore, 1603-1799
公元十七世紀和十八世紀,歐洲人繪製了不少有關新加坡的地圖,包括葡萄牙人、荷蘭人、法國人、和英國人。歐洲人在東南亞的探險和貿易活動,特別是葡萄牙人和荷蘭人,促進了有關新加坡地圖的測繪,這些地圖的內容說明了當時歐洲人對本區認知的狀況,許多因子影響了這些地圖的編繪,這些地圖大多是海圖,新加坡海峽及其鄰近海域,爲歐洲人航行必經之路,內容比較詳細,也相對地比較正確。當時歐洲人有關新加坡本島內部及柔佛海峽地區的地理知識,極其有限而每多錯誤,有關地圖的內容,多根據傳聞或臆造,不同的地圖,差異很大。 Map has existed as a form of communicative tool long be...
