EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting bay and island of Hong Kong in 1847. The artist, E Gilks, beautifully captures the essence of this bustling port city during the 19th century. Drawn by B Clayton from a painting by Borget, this engraving is an illustration from "The History of China and India" by Miss Corner. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported to a time when Hong Kong was still emerging as a major player on the global stage. The coast stretches out before us, with its picturesque landscape blending seamlessly into the sea. The harbor comes alive with activity as ships dotting the water make their way in and out of port. The island itself stands proud amidst all its natural beauty, showcasing both its geographical features and strategic location that made it such an important trading hub. This print allows us to appreciate how Hong Kong's rich history has shaped its present-day identity. With every intricate detail carefully etched onto paper, E Gilks skillfully brings forth the charm and allure of this historic moment in time. It serves as a reminder that even though centuries have passed since then, there is always something magical about revisiting our past through art.
