Caption:
Hong-Kong: Central Portion of the Town of Victoria, 1857. General view showing '...the central part of the town of Victoria, lying at the base of the lofty hills. The town was founded in 1841; and within two years, from a tent pitched for the Government residence, it became a large assemblage of stores, forts, wide streets, bazaars, and markets, and several public buildings'. The city of Victoria, also known as Victoria City, was the de facto capital of Hong Kong during its time as a British dependent territory. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
