This is my most recent restoration of two combined John Thomson images. Original. Original high resolution scans are fromt he Wellcome Trust. 

Color references are from contemporary or near-contemporary oil paintings. 

Matted prints will be on sale at the Hong Kong Maritime Museum giftshop from Mid March, 2019. Proceeds to the Museum.

For those outside of Hong Kong, you may order prints online for international delivery. 

I have more Thomson images, restored and coloured, and will post shortly.
