This print takes us back to the vibrant city of Hong Kong in the 19th century, showcasing two newly constructed stations for the iconic Peak Tram funicular railway. Published in 1887 by Ilustracion Artistica, this historical illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. The image transports us to an era where horse-drawn carriages and bustling streets were a common sight. The architectural beauty of the two new stations is evident, with intricate details adorning their facades. These structures stand as testaments to both engineering prowess and artistic craftsmanship. As we delve into this archival gem, it becomes apparent that Welsh photographer Ken has skillfully captured not only the physicality of these stations but also their significance within Hong Kong's transportation history. The Peak Tram funicular railway was a pioneering mode of transport during its time, connecting residents and visitors alike to Victoria Peak – offering breathtaking views over the cityscape below. This print serves as a reminder of how far Hong Kong has come since those early days. It invites us to appreciate our modern-day conveniences while acknowledging the rich heritage that laid its foundation. As we gaze upon this piece from Design Pics' archive collection, let us marvel at how technology and progress have shaped our world while cherishing glimpses into our collective pasts.
