Island of Kulangsu. Photographer: Thomson, John
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
View looking across the harbour towards the far bank, with shipping at anchor in the foreground. Kulangsu was the location of the original foreign settlement at Amoy: 'The island of Kulangsu, in the Fukien province, forms part of the western boundary of Amoy Harbour, and present a picturesque appearance when viewed from the granite heights of Amoy Island opposite. It was from these heights that the two photographs No. 36 were taken, but they lack the warm colouring and the green slopes which intersperse them.'
