About this work
Like many cities in Asia, Hong Kong has changed beyond recognition since this picture was taken. Judging from the number of ships, it was already a busy port. According to an 1865 census, some 125,000 people were living in Hong Kong at the time. These days, its population exceeds 7 million.
