This collection of the work of the Lee Brothers, King Yan and Poh Yan, is extracted from some 2,500 photographs in the possession of the Singapore National Archives, their largest single collection of photographic portraits. The brothers, in their studio in Hill Street, left behind a stunning record of middle class Singapore on show from this period. Although the subjects are mainly Chinese, there's a fair sprinkling of other races showing off their seriousness and finery as well. Sadly these photographs came from an age when the photographer did not tell the subject to say 'Cheese!' for  there's barely a smile through out the book. 127 pages including the historian, Gretchen Liu's, introduction.
