Hong Kong Telephone Company's Exhibit at the British Empire Fair in 1933

This photo shows a booth set up to promote teleprinter and telephone services and products available from the Hong Kong Telephone Company in the early 1930s. A British Empire Fair was held in Hong Kong from 24-27 May 1933 and during this time there were also various large exhibits including aircraft on display in the carpark opposite the Peninsula Hotel at Tsim Sha Tsui.  The ornately decorated ceiling and beams above the booth clearly suggest that this exhibit was located in the ground-floor lobby of the Peninsula Hotel .
