EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in British Malaya, featuring four prominent figures from different Malay states. The image showcases Tunku Besar Pahang, Sultan Abdulsamad of Selangor, Sultan Idris of Perak, and the Yang Di Pertuan of Negri Sambilan. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this photograph is now part of a private collection. The significance of this photo lies in its connection to Sir Frank Swettenham's book "British Malaya" published in 1907. This image served as an illustration for the book and offers a glimpse into the political landscape during that time. Each individual portrayed holds great importance within their respective states. Tunku Besar Pahang represents Pahang state with his regal presence. Sultan Abdulsamad signifies Selangor state with his dignified stature. Sultan Idris symbolizes Perak state with his commanding aura. Lastly, the Yang Di Pertuan stands as a representative for Negri Sambilan. Together, these leaders played crucial roles in shaping British Malaya's history and development under colonial rule. This print not only serves as a visual testament to their influence but also provides valuable insight into the rich historical tapestry of Malaysia's past. It is a remarkable piece that allows us to reflect on the complex dynamics between colonial powers and local leadership during this era.
