Early 1840s HK View - who owns it?

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1844

Here's a view of the north shore of HK Island from the 1840s. Does anyone know who owns it?

It appears in in the book "An Illustrated History of Hong Kong" (by Nigel Cameron, 1991).  In the acknowledgement, he credits the source as the Information Services Department (ISD). I've contacted the ISD photo library, the Museum of Art, and the Museum of History, but none of them have this painting in their collections.

Dugong in Hong Kong

Does anyone have any memories or observations of dugongs or mermaid folklore in Hong Kong and has anyone ever written up a comprehensive history of the 1993 Mermaid rumour in Hong Kong? Dugongs are now very rare indeed or extinct in the Pearl River Estuary.

I have an account of a 1940 Dugong/sea cow seen off Lantau and I`ve also heard of a mystery animal called the Lutung or Luting fish whose identity I would like to know.
