Yau Leung was a seriously talented professional photographer, active in Hong Kong during the 1960’s to 1990’s. His more iconic streetscapes have been lauded alongside those of Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908–2004), master of the ‘decisive moment’.

I would like to find a print of the picture Train in Shatin of high resolution.  A quick search via AI says the photographer is Yau Leung and the picture is from 1960.  It appears to be owned by the HK Museum of History (as the AI has answered but it could be wrong).  Any idea where I could buy a print?  Thank you for your help in advance.
