EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Hong Kong - Stanley - Fishing Harbour," is a stunning glimpse into the past of the vibrant and bustling fishing community of Stanley in Hong Kong, circa 1900. The image is part of the Boswell Collection, a valuable archive of lantern slides that offer a unique and intriguing perspective on the history of Hong Kong. The photograph showcases the picturesque fishing harbor of Stanley, with its colorful boats and nets drying in the sun. The calm waters reflect the clear blue sky, and the surrounding hills are dotted with small houses and lush greenery. The scene is serene and idyllic, yet the activity of the fishermen going about their daily work adds a sense of energy and dynamism. The lantern slide, which was likely used for presentations or educational purposes, offers a rare and intimate look at life in Stanley during this period. The use of natural light and the careful composition of the image create a sense of depth and texture that brings the scene to life. The fishing harbor of Stanley has been an essential part of the local community for centuries, and this photograph provides a fascinating window into its rich history. The lantern slide also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving historical records and the role they play in shaping our understanding of the past.
