EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches in China, Hong-Kong Races, 1858" takes us back to the vibrant streets of Hong Kong in the 19th century. The engraving, created by an English School artist, offers a fascinating glimpse into the local culture and traditions of that time. The image showcases a bustling street scene during the famous Hong-Kong Races. Spectators from all walks of life gather around a one shilling stand, eagerly anticipating the thrilling horseracing event about to unfold before their eyes. The atmosphere is electric with excitement as people cheer on their favorite horses and jockeys. As we delve deeper into this snapshot of history, we are transported to another era where East meets West. Amidst the crowd, Chinese locals can be seen alongside foreigners who have made Hong Kong their home. This fusion of cultures is beautifully captured in this engraving - a testament to the cosmopolitan nature of this vibrant city. Through its intricate details and masterful execution, this artwork allows us to immerse ourselves in the sights and sounds of 1858 Hong Kong. It serves as a reminder that even though time may pass and cities may evolve, there will always be moments frozen in art that enable us to connect with our past and appreciate our shared human experiences across different corners of the world.
