Hong Kong was first captured on camera when the British arrived to
lay claim to its 'fragrant harbour' in 1841. Its fascinating
history has been documented through photography ever since - from
its rapid expansion as a Crown Colony to its handover to China in
1997 and its present status as one of the world's leading
international financial centres. Pairing rare and previously
unpublished photographs with contemporary views taken from the same
location, Hong Kong Then and Now highlights the rich and varied
history of this constantly evolving metropolis, from Victoria
Harbour, the Hong Kong Club and the Star Ferry to Kowloon Walled
CIty, Chek Lap Kok Airport and the gleaming skyscrapers of its
central banking district. Sites include: Victoria Harbour, the
Peak, the Star Ferry Pier, Man Ho Temple, Ladder Street, Queen's
Road Central, Hong Kong Club, Prince's Building, HSBC, Noonday Gun,
Happy Valley Racecourse, Tiger Balm Garden, Peninsula Hotel, Kai
Tak Airport, Kowloon Walled City, Shenzhen, Repulse Bay, Chek Lap
Kok Airport, St. Paul's (Macau).
