Despite Hale's Tours being a worldwide phenomenon, however, the focus has been on North America and Western Europe. To our knowledge, there are only two properly referenced contributions on Hale's Tours (or its clones) outside these regions – in Singapore and Rio de Janeiro. Focusing on regions outside North America and Western Europe, however, is crucial for arriving at a more representative understanding of historical spectatorship and the affects the device produced. By drawing on English, Chinese, and Malay sources, this essay, therefore, expands our understanding of the Hale's Tours by investigating their first appearances in Asia in Singapore (1908) and Hong Kong (1912). pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Early Popular Visual Culture is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
