EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "East Point showing Victoria Hills, Hong Kong, 1895" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases the bustling harbor of what was once a British colony but is now an integral part of mainland China. The boats scattered across the South China Sea serve as a testament to Hong Kong's thriving shipping industry during the late 19th century. The monochrome landscape captures the essence of this vibrant port city, with its towering hills providing a stunning backdrop against the sea. As we delve into this historical snapshot, we are transported to an era where trade and transportation were at their peak. Published by George Newnes Ltd in London in 1895 as part of their renowned publication "Round the World in Pictures and Photographs" this print offers us a glimpse into global geography and cultural exchange during that time. W & S Ltd, credited as the creator of this remarkable photograph, has skillfully captured both the natural beauty and industrial prowess that defined Hong Kong at that period. As we admire this piece from The Print Collector collection without commercial intent or mention thereof, it serves as a reminder of how photography can preserve moments from our past while allowing us to appreciate different geographical features around the world.
