This is taken from Ho Ah Chon’s book “Sarawak in Pictures”. This same photographer has also published and compiled many books related to the history in Sarawak. I have not been able to find much information about this author. All the limited edition books are very expensive. And the few copies in the DBKU library may not last very long with many pages missing already.

Here are some of the books all by the same author:

1. Kuching In Pictures 1840s-1960s (Vanguard press)
2. Kuching in Pictures 1990 (see hua daily)
3. Kuching in Pictures 1991 (see hua daily)
4. Kuching: 1950-1959: Sir Anthony Foster Abell’s era (1960)
5. Kuching: 1960-1963: Sir Alexander Waddell’s era (1991)
6. Sarawak in Pictures 1940s-1970s
7. Sarawak Historical Events 1941-1945
8. Sarawak Historical Events 1961-1963
9. The history of Kuching Municipal (1997)
10. Changing landscape of Kuching (1995)
