EDITORS COMMENTS
"This lantern slide depicts the breathtaking view of Hong Kong's Shwing Peak and the Peak Railway, a marvel of engineering from the late 19th century. In the 1880s, Scottish engineer Alexander Findlay Smith spearheaded the project to build a railway up to Victoria Peak, Hong Kong's highest point, and presented a petition for a concession to the Governor of Hong Kong. Two years later, the necessary legislation was passed, and the Peak Railway opened in 1888. The railway was initially divided into three classes: First Class for British colonial officials and residents of Victoria Peak, Second Class for British military and the Hong Kong Police Force personnel, and Third Class for everyone else, including animals. This intriguing snapshot of history transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past splendor of Hong Kong's colonial era."
