Not your typical photo book!

Meet the people of old Hong Kong through these rare photos, dating from the 1950s right back to the 1880s. There are cobblers, conjurors, compradores, croquet players, soldiers, sailors, Scottish golfers, hawkers, a Hungarian motorcyclist, and more! Who among them called Hong Kong ‘home’? Join David to find out, as he uncovers clues in the photos’ details that reveal each person’s story.

David runs Gwulo.com, the award-winning local history website with over 30,000 photos of old Hong Kong.
