This is an exceptional actual size reproduction of an Elizabeth Keith original from 1924.
Only one Japanese style panoramic image of the Hong Kong Harbour was made by her as a woodblock print; produced by Watanabe. Originals are very rare, expensive and almost impossible to find easily. Print editions were very small and the originals were dated 1924.
The daytime version has hardly ever been seen and originals of it by Elizabeth Keith may number just a handful worldwide; it is such a rare image that it does not even appear in her “catalog raisonne”. |
