'In 1946 the photographer Hedda Morrison, acclaimed for her 1930s and 1940s images of China, arrived in Hong Kong. During about six months there she photographed virtually every aspect of local life, which was little changed from decades earlier - yet destined soon to be transformed. This book presents Morrison's compelling, intimate documentary images of Hong Kong, its people and patterns of life, with narrative essays by Edward Stokes that vividly describe the postwar years.' - extracted from backcover text.
With glossary, chronology, extended captions and a section on the selection and reproduction of the photographs.
