Malaysia: Horse and cart on the road between Kuala Lipis and Raub, Pahang State, late 19th century - early 20th century

Raub, in the Malaysian state of Pahang, is an historic gold mining settlement first founded in the 18th century. The mining centre was named Raub after a group of miners found a handful (raub) of gold in every tray of sand they dug.

Kuala Lipis was a gold-mining center before the British arrived in 1887. In 1898 it became the capital of Pahang until 1953.
