The Completion of the Hong Kong Extension, Sketches in Kaulung City
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph that takes us back to 19th century Hong Kong. This historical print, part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into the bustling streets and military presence during this time. The image showcases the entrance to Kaulung City, with Hong Kong volunteers embarking on their duties. The Royal Welsh Fusiliers can be seen guarding the gateway while street scenes unfold around them. The completion of the Hong Kong Extension is evident as new buildings and structures dot the landscape. The walled city of Kowloon stands prominently in the background, its ancient architecture contrasting with the modern developments taking place. The mandarins' yamen adds an air of authority to this scene, reminding viewers of China's influence over these territories. Guard tents are set up along Commisariat Pier, indicating a strong military presence in this strategic location. The engraving beautifully captures both architectural details and human activity within its frame. This lithograph provides valuable insight into a pivotal moment in Hong Kong's history when it was undergoing significant expansion and transformation. It serves as a reminder of how cultures collide and blend within urban landscapes, shaping cities like Hong Kong into what they are today. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece for future generations to appreciate and learn from; it continues to captivate viewers with its rich historical context and artistic beauty.
