Remark :

The pictures show in inside of the Perak Museum in Taiping. This museum is said to be the oldest in the country, built in 1883. The museum has a library and several galleries featuring Peraks history - particularly Larut and Matang.

We thank Bernard Moss for lending us these pictures, which are part of his grandfathers collection. His grandfather, Percival Moss, worked in Taiping from 1880 to 1910 - sewing uniforms for the Malay States Guides and other military organisations.
