Ancient China
« on: January 02, 2017, 12:50:31 PM »
Hello Folks

HAPPY NEW YEAR to everybody of you!

I just received some photo albums with old Chinese photos, taken from a European merchant between 1903 and 1907.
It's very impressive to see how China used to be 110 years ago. What a change :scared: !!!
Some of the pictures may strike you familiar as we find the images on our beloved coins..:-)

I want to share some impressions of those times with you... please enjoy  N48


...description is the English translation from the words noted in the album...

8762, Queen's Buildings Hongkong
8765, Hongkong Peak
8769, in the harbour of Hongkong
8771, the Bund in Shanghai
8773, Foochow Creek in Shanghai
8775, Foochow Creek Water Tower

This is a very nice collection of ancient Chinese pictures. Thanks for sharing.
 
I happen to collect pictured post cards of 1900s from China. Here are some examples, dated from 1904 to 1916.
