Ewart Hunt Gallery

Submitted by Simon Patton on Mon, 12/30/2019 - 08:01

I was surprised to come across two images in the Ewart Hunt gallery that feature in the book "Hongkong" by Swiss writer/photographer Martin Hurlimann (published 1969).

The images in question are Ewart sampan girl and Hakka Woman.

I have no idea what this means, but I felt moved to point it out!

Hello Simon,

When I uploaded all the many images from my colleagues in the 367 Association, it was never easy to be sure whether they were their's or ones acquired from elswehere.  I am still in touch with Ewart and have just emailed him seeking clarification and I shall respond on the Forum ASAP.

Best wishes, Andrew

Dear Andrew,

The book may be out of copyright, since it was first published in 1962. 

There is not much information about the two photos in Hurlimann's book. The first was taken in Aberdeen. The second suggests that it is a Hakka woman from Sai Kung.

The full publication details are as follows: Martin Hürlimann, <Hongkong>, 1962 Atlantis Verlag AG, Zürich

Warm regards, Simon

 

 

Hi Andrew,

Since the photos have been online for several years, I suggest just adding a note to each photo along the lines of:

Update, Dec 2019: Thanks to Simon, who notes that this photo originally appeared in the book "Hongkong" by writer & photographer Martin Hürlimann, published in 1962. I checked with Ewart and he confirms this isn't one of his own photos.

That will let anyone looking at it know the original source.

Regards, David
