EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the essence of a bygone era, this print titled "Festive Facade" takes us back to 1869 in Queens Road, Hong Kong. The image showcases the meticulous preparations made for illuminating the street during a momentous visit by none other than the Duke of Edinburgh. With its landscape format and striking black and white tones, this photograph exudes an air of nostalgia that transports us to a time long gone. The lantern light collection adorning the facade adds a touch of enchantment to the scene, casting a warm glow on the bustling street below. Every detail is meticulously captured by renowned photographer John Thomson, whose expertise shines through in his ability to immortalize not just objects but also customs and ceremonies unique to Asia. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Fine Art Storehouse's collection, we are reminded of Hong Kong's rich history and cultural heritage. The juxtaposition between tradition and modernity is palpable as we witness an age-old Asian custom blending seamlessly with Western influences brought forth by royal visits. This print serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and an invitation to delve into Hong Kong's past. It invites us to explore its vibrant streets filled with life, energy, and celebration. Let it transport you back in time as you immerse yourself in this snapshot frozen forever within its frame.
