Photographs

A well composed photograph showing one of Hong Kong's most elegant examples of colonial architecture. Government House was an imposing building standing on the hill above the city. This photograph appears to have come from a William Pryor Floyd album. A similar picture taken from the same vantage point appeared in a John Thomson book. It is another example of a photograph taken by "The Firm". "The Firm" was a group of 11 photographic establishments that operated in Hong Kong from 1860 to 1877.
