Title:

Amoy Harbour, China. Photographer: Thomson, John

Scope & Content:

Genre: Landscape Photography

View of junks and other local craft beached on the foreshore, with rocks rising behind. With accompanying letterpress by John Thomson: 'The harbour of Amoy is one of the safest and most accessible to be found along the coast of China, nor does its position lack picturesqueness, as it is guarded by an array of bold granite rocks, upon which the natives look with awe and reverence, while the hills around present a multitude of gigantic granite boulders, wearing the most grotesque shapes, and perched in strange disorder on their summits...'
