Abstract

A rare set of early panoramic engravings of Hong Kong and its surrounding area, from Kowloon to Lantau and Stonecutters Island. Originally drawn on the spot by Lieutenant L. G. Heath in 1846, they were published in printed form in 1847, as a supplement to the first British Admiralty survey of Hong Kong and its environs by Commander Belcher. Each view has a key to identify the sites, features and buildings of interest.

一套罕見的早期全景版畫,描繪的是香港島及其周邊地區,從九龍到大嶼山和昂船洲。
