Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1867

Subject: Sailor
Date: The seller dates this to c.1867. The back of the card gives the photographer's name as Hung Cheong Shing, and their address as "Opposite Messrs. Lane, Crawford & Co's, No 32, Queen's Road Third Story". HOPIC lists the photographer at this address from 1879-1881 (see https://gwulo.com/node/31857), so the photo may have been taken c.1880.
Photographer: Hung Cheong Shing
Format: carte de visite

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1867

Subject: Western man
Date: c.1868. The back of the card gives the photographer's name as Hing Cheong, and his address as "Queen's Road, No 54. Opposite the Oriental Bank." HOPIC has an entry for Hing Cheong & Co. (see https://gwulo.com/node/31857) and places him at 66 Queen's Road Central from c.1868 til 1874. The seller dates this to c.1867, but HOPIC suggests it was taken a year or two later.

There's a pencil note on the back of the card: "CAPT M DOUGHT(Y)? 10th Regt. 1872".

The Captain's name is not clear, but the year fits the range of years, 1867-74, that photographer W P Floyd was active in Hong Kong.
