Engraving published in The Illustrated London News 1857-03-21: Vol 30
VICTORIA, HONG-KONG.
THE interest attached to the town of Victoria, the capital of Hong- Kong, and the seat of the Colonial Government, has induced us to engrave the accompanying View of a principal street, from an original Sketch. The precise locality is "Queen's-road West." Here the picturesqueness of the large Chinese building in the foreground, with its open bazaars, contrasts strangely with the plainness of the colonial structures beyond it. The labouring classes and small traders are chiefly Chinese, who are ever on the alert for gain. The bazaars invite the passing stranger in every street, and the itinerant artisans go busily tramping in their daily rounds. There are many striking figures among them, as our Artist has shown. The distance of Hong-Kong from Canton is 102 English miles; the passage is made in boats in ordinary times, and is by no means an agreeable one. The distance of Hong-Kong from Whampoa is ninety miles; so that the latter is twelve miles from Canton, and is the anchorage for all large vessels whose business is with that port.
Possibly Canton Bazaar although engraving gives the location as Queen's Road West? The bend to the left on Queen's Road looks to me like the one east of the Naval Yard.
Any other suggestions are welcome.
