professional photographer 1935 Hong Kong
Primary tabs
i have a large photo album dated 1935..with many professional dark sepia photographs of children people.. artisans. ear cleaners..shops..street views harbor views..etc. lots of them... they aren't signed..but are about 6 x 4 inches and dark sepia and wonderful.. mostly close up views. i would guess they were sold in hotels to tourists. anyone know photographers of that era? they are trimmed with thing black strip on edge. The album owner was a doctor . i believe..who might have worked at a nursing home. American stationed on USS Isabel 1934. i have other info.. many snap shots of Hong Kong. other Chinese cities and Manila.. i am sure these were taken by a professional and his work must be well known. any info appreciated. .This is a large photo album and are photos are labeled. The harbor and people views are really awesome. thank you.

You could try posting some photos here to see if anyone recognises them. (How to upload a photo: http://gwulo.com/node/2076)
Albums from that time often have a mix of unique photos that show the owner / friends / family, and commercial photos they'd buy to include in the album.
