EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and experience the thrilling atmosphere of Happy Valley Racecourse in Hong Kong during the late 19th century, as captured in this evocative photograph by renowned Scottish photographer John Thomson (1837-1921). Taken around 1870, the image offers a rare glimpse into the early days of this iconic racing venue, which has been a significant part of Hong Kong's cultural landscape for over a century. The photograph shows a bustling scene of horse racing enthusiasts gathered around the track, their attire and demeanor reflecting the fashion and spirit of the era. The lush green valley, surrounded by rolling hills and lush vegetation, is a stark contrast to the urban landscape that has since developed around it. The grandstand, with its ornate architecture and red roofs, stands proudly in the background, a testament to the grandeur and tradition of the sport. The image transports us to an age of exploration and discovery, when Hong Kong was a thriving British colony and a hub of trade and commerce. The photograph is a valuable historical record, providing insight into the lives of the people who lived and worked in this vibrant and dynamic city during the late 1800s. John Thomson, a pioneering photographer, captured many scenes of life in Asia during his extensive travels. His work, which includes this stunning image of Happy Valley Racecourse, is an invaluable contribution to the historical record of the region and continues to inspire and fascinate audiences around the world.
