1926 Large aerial photograph of Hong Kong as it was transitioning from ancient seaport to modern marvel. One of the better images of the city we have ever handled, this is made special because aerial photography was almost non-existent in Asia at this time! Issued by Wide World Photos and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well. Photo has some pinholes from editorial use but it presents better than the technical grade.
