This is the earliest photo that I have ever seen from this angle.

City hall had not been built yet. I would date this photo around 1865.

Another mystery picture

Here is a final mystery. I presume it is from Macau but if it wakes up any memories I would appreciate it. Sorry for the quality.

Final Harbour Picture

This is the final picture and may answer a lot of questions. Is it Macau or Canton. It is from the same set as all the others.

Thanks to all you experts for whatever turns up.

Another harbour view

This is another view of the same harbour. There is a possibility it could be Macau or Canton. I think my great grandfather - a sailor - travelled from Lisbon which may make it likely that he went to Macau. I also know that he had dealings in Canton.
