EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Scene in Victoria, Hong Kong" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the bustling streets of this vibrant city. Captured by an American photographer whose identity remains unknown, this image is now part of a private collection. The scene depicts the heart of Victoria, Hong Kong's central district during that era. The streets are filled with people from various walks of life, showcasing the diverse cultural tapestry that defines Asia. Chinese locals can be seen going about their daily activities while foreigners immerse themselves in the exotic atmosphere. The monochromatic tones add a sense of nostalgia and timelessness to the photograph. It serves as a visual portal through which we can witness history unfold before our eyes. This particular print was featured in "Photographic Gems of Art" published by Mast, Crowell & Kirkpatrick in 1896. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, it sparks curiosity about what life was like during those early years of Hong Kong's development as an international hub. The image invites us to explore not only its historical significance but also appreciate how far this metropolis has come since then. With its rich heritage and dynamic energy still present today, Hong Kong continues to captivate visitors from around the world - just as it did over a century ago when this photograph was taken.
