Antique tinted lithograph entitled “West Point, Hong Kong”, after Frank Marryat, printed by M. & N. Hanhart and published by Longman & Co., London. The publication line is dated 1847.

Issued in Marryat’s Borneo and the Indian Archipelago, published in 1848.

An atmospheric early view of Hong Kong’s waterfront, showing Chinese sailing junks and smaller boats against a backdrop of shoreline buildings and mountainous scenery. An appealing record of the harbour before its extensive later development.

The artist’s initials, lithographers’ credit, title and dated publication line remain visible beneath the image.

Unframed, with generous margins. Age-related toning and scattered spotting, with unevenness, small nicks and losses along the upper sheet edge. The main image presents well, with attractive colouring and clear detail. Please examine the photographs as part of the condition description.

A desirable subject for collectors of early Hong Kong views, maritime prints and nineteenth-century Asian travel.
