About
Ed van der Elsken's Hong Kong is a city of great atmosphere. The photographs, taken in 1959 & 1960, show a city not yet overwhelmed by neon and high-rise; a city that combines a deep sense of tradition with an energy in its streets that is both exhilarating and exhausting. Hong Kong is an extraordinary record by one of the major photographers of the 20th century.
