Canton-Kowloon Railway poster

Places shown in this photo: 
KCR Terminus, TST [1916-1978]

The railway's title in the poster is the reverse to that with it was commonly known in Hong Kong until its takeover by the MTR in recent years. One building depicted looks more Japanese/Korean than Chinese so the poster designer may have been from overseas and never set foot in China.
