EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, featuring former Conservative politician Chris Patten as he assumes his role as the 28th and final Governor of Hong Kong. The image takes us back to the year 1992 when Patten lost his Bath seat in the General Election but embarked on this pivotal journey. The photograph also provides us with a glimpse into the living conditions of one of the poorest areas within Hong Kong's territory. It showcases a general view that reflects the harsh reality faced by many residents during that time period. Poverty-stricken slums, social inequality, and challenging circumstances are evident as children can be seen playing amidst these difficult surroundings. As we observe this historic scene from two decades ago, it serves as a reminder of colonialism's impact on Asia and specifically on Hong Kong under British rule. The laughter shared among young girls amidst adversity is both heartwarming and bittersweet, symbolizing resilience in the face of hardship. Photographer Roger Allen skillfully captures not only an important political figure but also sheds light on societal issues prevalent at that time. This print transports viewers to an era where travel was limited yet curiosity about different places persisted.
