EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1847, capturing the essence of Victoria Town on Hong Kong Island. As one of the earliest urban settlements following British colonization in 1842, Victoria City was hailed as the unofficial capital of Hong Kong during that time. The detailed illustration, drawn by B Clayton based on a painting by Piqua, showcases a bustling scene filled with boats and ships dotting the harbor. The image offers a glimpse into life in 19th-century China, highlighting both its geographical features and maritime significance. The coast stretches out majestically while sailing ships gracefully navigate through the waters. This engraving from "The History of China and India" by Miss Corner provides valuable insight into this pivotal period in Hong Kong's history. As we take in this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported to an era where transportation relied heavily on waterways. Boats and junks dominate the foreground, symbolizing the vital role they played in connecting different parts of this vibrant city. This remarkable print is not just a visual representation but also an invaluable historical artifact that allows us to appreciate how Victoria Town thrived under British rule. It serves as a testament to our ever-evolving world and reminds us of Hong Kong's rich cultural heritage rooted deep within its coastal landscapes.
