In 1935, a herd of feral cattle was spotted roaming Singapore. Since then, alleged sightings have been rare. Reports came mainly from Japanese soldiers in World War II and occasionally from local residents. If these reports are true, these cows were confined to the areas of Tampines, Punggol, Sembawang and Pulau Ubin. In 2016, a cow was discovered on Coney Island but died shortly after.

Some believe that wild cows still roam Singapore. 

Conceived by The Institute of Critical Zoologists (ICZ) between 2014 and 2019, this book features images of cows in Singapore from the 1890s to 2016 from ICZ’s archive.

Reared and roomed by dedicated owners for participation in pageants, ornamental chickens, including the impressive Malaysian breed of Ayam Serama, project a natural and seemingly effortless charisma rivalling that of human models. Ernest Goh’s award-winning portraits capture the full range of these beautiful birds’ personalities: puffed chests, ruffled plumage, bowed heads and all. By turns provocative, humorous and surprising, the photographs in the Cocks Headshots series will move you to view our humble feathered friends in an entirely different light.

About Ernest Goh

Ernest Goh’s passion for animals was nurtured as a young boy wading in the streams of his grandmother’s kampung village looking for fishes. He considers his passion for animals a natural extension of his interest in photographing the human condition. Fast paced global development has caused a sharp increase in animal-human interactions and better appreciation of nature will be crucial to both species in the future. In The Fish Book (Wee Editions, 2011) he presented a whimsical study of the ornamental fish in Singapore and in October 2012 he received the Discernment Award at the ICON de Martell Cordon Bleu photography awards for his portraits of fowls. He is also the creative director of The Animal Book Co; an outfit that works with animal welfare groups through photography.

Marjorie Doggett’s Singapore: A Photographic Record is an evocative interplay of photos and texts, a tribute to a pioneer woman photographer, Marjorie Doggett. Born in England, Doggett was a self-taught photographer who arrived in Singapore in early 1947, a city she would call home until her death.

Marjorie Doggett’s Singapore features many of Doggett’s unpublished photographs alongside newly restored images from Characters of Light, the first photo book to fully portray Singapore’s urban setting and architecture. Published in 1957, and reissued in 1985, the book was a pioneer: in its depiction of Singapore’s city and as the first local photographic book by a woman.

Accompanying these photos are Edward Stokes’s historical and personal texts. Together, the photos and narrative offer an entirely new presentation of Singapore, through the prism of Doggett’s life, inspiration, and methods. It is a fitting tribute to a woman whose talents contributed significantly to the preservation of Singapore’s historic architecture.
