Description:
This map of Hong Kong which was published in 1899 is a direct copy of the R.C. Hurley Map of Hong Kong published in his guidebook in 1896.
Hal Empson in his splendid book, Mapping Hong Kong, mentions the Almanac edition of the Hurley map in 1899.
This map lacks colouring and the original title has been removed. The original title, above references, stated - The Tourist's guide to Hong Kong with short trips to the Mainland of China.
The map shows roads, hill paths and landmarks. An index lower left shows Programmes for 12 walks.
We bought this map 3 years ago and it is the only time we have seen it.
