A panoramic view taken from Victoria Peak looking down on the city of Victoria and the harbour, and across the water to the Kowloon Peninsula.

  • Bonjour,
    Je possède 9 photographies panoramiques de la Baie de Hong Kong.
    La signature Inter National Panorama Photo Co. en bas à droite.
    Savez-vous jusqu’à quelle date ce studio a produit ces photos?
    Merci.
    Cordialement.

  • Dear Serge
    Our six panoramas of Hong Kong are undated. We currently believe they were taken in the late 19th or early 20th century, hence ‘c. 1900’, and hope to learn more about them following publication of this post.
    Brief catalogue descriptions of each panorama may be found at:

    Are any of your panoramas of Hong Kong identical to ours?
    Best wishes

  • Good Morning. This panorama is from the 1920s, likely 1925 from the progress of the Wanchai reclamation
