EDITORS COMMENTS
FVQ-F-147468-0000: A Glimpse of Old Hong Kong Step back in time with this print captured between 1870 and 1890, showcasing a bustling road in the heart of Hong Kong, China. The image transports us to an era when horse-drawn carriages were the primary mode of transportation. The scene comes alive as we witness a vibrant street filled with cabs and passer-bys going about their daily lives. The architecture surrounding the road is remarkable, featuring arches, building elements, decorations, and sections that reflect the unique style of that period. An open gallery adds charm to one side of the road while housing structures line both sides. This snapshot into history allows us to appreciate how urban landscapes have evolved over time. As our eyes wander through this black-and-white photograph, we are reminded of the rich history embedded within contemporary nations like China. It serves as a testament to the growth and development experienced by populations residing in these territories. Transportation plays a significant role in any city's narrative, and this image captures it perfectly. We can almost hear the clip-clop sound of horses' hooves on cobblestone streets as they transport people from one destination to another. This street scene offers us a glimpse into everyday life during that era—a view of Hong Kong that has long since transformed but remains etched in its collective memory. Preserved by Alinari under their "not for commercial use" policy, this print invites us to explore history through visual storytelling—an opportunity to connect with our past while appreciating how far we've come.
