PICTURESQUE HONGKONG: A BRITISH CROWN COLONY & DEPENDENCIES BY R. C. HURLEY 1925

[HURLEY, R. C.]. Picturesque Hongkong: a British Crown Colony and Dependencies. Hong Kong: Commercial Press, Limited, 1925.

First edition. Paperback. Octavo (230 x 150 x 10 mm.). Pp. xii, 160, xiv-xxii, [26]. Illustrated with 76 view and 4 folding maps. English text. Bound in publisher's original pictorial paper wrappers. Adds front and rear. Condition: A little wear to spine ends, else excellent.

Notes: one of the best - and scarcest - pre-WWII guides to Hong Kong. Profusely illustrated and with very numerous trade advertisements throughout, it includes detailed coloured maps of Hong Kong Island and the New Territories, and plans of the Central District of Victoria and the Canton-Kowloon railway. A splendid copy of a work rarely found complete. EXTREMELY SCARCE.
