HONG KONG.—One hundred years ago, Hong Kong was a rocky, treeless island, and the Kowloon peninsula, only one mile away, was considered rural. The above picture shows Hong Kong today, with the city of Victoria clinging to the steep slopes of the peak, while in the foreground is the populous, busy Kowloon peninsula. The picture is from “Hong Kong,” a commentary in a few words and many pictures on every facet of life in the Crown Colony. Poverty and riches are shown existing side by side. Especially pleasing to readers will be the pictorial evidence, in colour, of the richness of the examples of Chinese art that repose in Hong Kong. The photographs and commentary are by Lloyd A. Smith, and the publishers are Longmans.
