EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving of Hong Kong, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, takes us on a journey back in time to this bustling city's rich history. The print, now part of a private collection, showcases the vibrant and diverse culture that has defined Hong Kong for centuries. The image is reminiscent of an illustration from "The Favourite Picture Book" published by Grant and Griffith around 1860. It beautifully captures the essence of Hong Kong with its iconic landmarks such as The Peak and junks sailing gracefully through its waters. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are transported to a time when China was still known as Cathay and Hong Kong was emerging as a major trading port in Asia. The intricate details of the engraving allow us to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in creating such a work of art. In this snapshot from the past, we witness not only the beauty but also the cultural fusion that defines Hong Kong. From Chinese architecture to Western influences, it is evident that this city has always been at the crossroads between East and West. This print serves as a reminder of how far Hong Kong has come while honoring its deep-rooted heritage. It invites us to delve into its fascinating history and marvel at its transformation into one of Asia's most dynamic metropolises.
