With the China Squadron in the East, at Hongkong
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to 19th century Hong Kong. The print showcases a bustling harbor filled with majestic ships from various companies such as Albany, Scotch Reel, Union Insurance Company, and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. Amidst this maritime spectacle, guests can be seen enjoying their leisurely time on board. The scene captures the essence of Hong Kong's vibrant cityscape, featuring landmarks like the Roman Catholic Cathedral, City Hall with its iconic clock tower, Chinese Hongs (trading houses), David Sassoon Sons' company godowns (warehouses), and even glimpses of Mount Gough in the distance. Notably present are elements representing cultural diversity: a Sikh policeman stands tall while decorated peace prevails among disunited Germany. The panorama also includes Victoria Peak overlooking the town of Victoria and Government House. This lively depiction extends beyond just architecture and landscapes; it portrays social gatherings too. A grand staircase leads to an undecorated war where supper is served at the renowned Hongkong Hotel. Meanwhile, St Joseph's College and St John's Protestant Cathedral commemorate St Andrews Day. The artist skillfully captures every detail - from individuals like Holliday Wise and W. R Loxley to prominent establishments like Lane Crawford and Jardine Matheson - making this engraving an invaluable historical document that offers a glimpse into life during that era in Hong Kong's rich history.
