EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Water Supply of Hong-Kong" takes us back in time to the bustling cityscape of 19th-century Hong Kong. The engraving, created by Thomas Harrington Wilson after an original artwork, offers a glimpse into the intricate water supply system that sustained this vibrant metropolis. As we study the image, our eyes are drawn to the impressive dam and conduit road that wind through the rugged topography of Hong Kong. These engineering marvels were essential in channeling water from reservoirs to meet the growing demands of a rapidly expanding population. Intriguingly, amidst this landscape lies a man-of-war anchorage, serving as a reminder of both the strategic importance and international influence exerted on this thriving port city. Through this visual narrative, we gain insight into how crucial access to clean water was for sustaining life and facilitating growth in Hong Kong during this era. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness in overcoming geographical challenges. "The Water Supply of Hong-Kong" is not just an artistic masterpiece but also an invaluable historical document that sheds light on one aspect of daily life that often goes unnoticed - until now. This print invites us to appreciate the interconnectedness between infrastructure development and societal progress while reminding us of our reliance on nature's most precious resource: water.
