Peng Chau Village from a boat. The quality is not so good as I scanned this picture from a copy I made in Berlin. The picture shows Peng Chau Village. The picture was taken by Pastor Johannes Mueller, director of the Bethesda Orphanage at High Street, Hong Kong Island. The date is 1904-02-20. Mueller describes Peng Chau as a barren island with a small village an limekiln factories.

Basel Mission and Isolation Hospital

Submitted by christoph on Tue, 2013-10-22 02:23
Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1905
Places shown in this photo: 
Basel Mission Station - IL 629 [1852-1931]
St Peter's Church, Praya West [1871-1933]

This is a picture from an old slide series illustrating the Basel Mission`s work in Hong Kong an Southern China among the Hakka. (There is a clearer copy on the USC website; but I love my rusty old slide reel.) Western Street runs down the hill. The building to the right is the little Isolation Hospital for Plague Patients, which was located opposite the old Basel Mission House. So this picture is about 1905. The first Mission House was built in 1861 by Rudolph Lechler between High Street and Third Street.

UPDATE: Changed title to "View over Tai Ping Shan from Hospital Road", as given in the comments below.

Original notes:

The title "View from the Basel mission station" comes from the USC website. Does anyone know if the Basel mission station was different from the Basel mission school?
