Summary

Description
English: The Town and the Roadstead is one of the most valuable drawings by Charles Dyce as it depicts with great perspective, skill and clarity the buildings along the Singapore River. According to Dyce, the large building, whose roof is seen in the centre of the drawing was the public (Assembly) rooms. To the left, an officer in uniform is holding a scope, looking towards the sprawling expanse of the settlement below. Such topographical impressions of Singapore with its typical perspective from a high vantage point give a sense of the wealth of resources and extent of development of the colony.
