EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning engraving of a Map of Hong Kong, circa 1900, captures the intricate details and historical significance of this bustling city. The map, originally featured in the 10th edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica, showcases the coastline, geographical borders, and navigational equipment of Hong Kong during the late 19th century.
The old-fashioned style and Western script used in this engraving provide a glimpse into the past and highlight the exploration and discovery that took place on this peninsula jutting out into the South China Sea. The map offers guidance and direction for travelers navigating through Kowloon Bay and around Hong Kong Island.
With no people present in the illustration, viewers are left to imagine what life was like in Hong Kong at the turn of the century. The detailed depiction of physical geography and landmarks such as Victoria Peak give insight into how much has changed over time while also preserving a piece of history.
This horizontal illustration is not just a map but a work of art that tells a story about Hong Kong's rich heritage. It serves as a reminder of where we have been and how far we have come since 1900.
