POSTCARDS FROM THE PAST are a collection of images with an evocative water-colour sketch treatment of Colonial Malaya.

 

It's a project that documents the architecture from a time when the British, Dutch and Portuguese ruled the shores of Malaya.

 

This "Straits Settlements" series chronicle the Moorish, Tudor, Neo-Gothic and Grecian-Spanish architecture of the period and UNESCO heritage sites left behind that serve as historical reminders of a bygone era that have withstood the test of time.

 

For those who appreciate art and history these images are also available as part of a coffee table booklet published by Blurb.com.
