Description
Known as the Jackson Plan or Raffles Plan, this is the first published map of Singapore. Published in 1828, the map was drawn by Lieutenant Philip Jackson at the request of Singapore founder Sir Stamford Raffles (1781 - 1826). It is divided into two sections, a map of the island of Singapore, and a close-up plan of the town of Singapore. The city plan presents an idealized version of Singapore following the Raffles vision and, while not fully implemented, was influential in the early development of the colony.

Description
This is the earliest known map of Bangkok, Thailand, issued in 1828 shortly following John Crawfurd s diplomatic mission to the royal court of Siam. The map itself purports to be by a native , and was likely drawn for Crawfurd in 1822, when he visited. The map is oriented to the north, with the Royal Palace and temple complex at center. The Chao Phraya River is here identified by the archaic name, Manam. The area covered roughly corresponds to the modern-day Grand Palace and Wat Pho complex. The Powder Mills at the right of the palace are today Saranrom. Some English terminology is used, but waterway names are anglicized Thai.
