265 x 207 mm (mounted on card). A view from just above the west bank looking down onto the Klang River, with the atap houses of Kuala Lumpur on the far side. Beside the road in the foreground is an open-sided atap house where a number of carpenters are planing wood to form planks. The note in Swettenham's hand on the reverse reads: 'This is the point from which, in 1882, just to the right of the picture, the road started to ascend the hill on which were the Residency and all other Government buildings. The land had been planted with tapioca by the Capitan China, Ah Loy, who restored it to the Government. The houses at the back are Kuala Lumpur of 1882.'
