GARDEN OF HONG KONG, HONG KONG, CHINA.

Submitted by bradpowe on Wed, 2014-01-15 16:53
Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1890
Places shown in this photo: 
Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens [1864- ]

The second of three images of Hong Kong from the Royal Photograph Gallery, introduced by one John Clark Ridpath and published in New York in June 1893. The publisher's aim was "to select and preserve the best" photographic materials and "to reproduce... the most striking aspects of the natural world and the highest and most beautiful works of man."

This substantial volume of more than 460 pages was almost certainly a wedding gift to my great-grandparents Henry Fine Chong (Cheng Fan Chong) and Lily May Ah Poo, who were married in Parramatta, NSW, in June 1896.
