Eastpro Gallery in Causeway Bay | Eastpro Gallery Presents: Mr. Cheung Shun-kwong's Photography Book Launch and Exhibition, 'Old Central'

Description

Master Creative Publishing cordially invites you to the launch of the new book, 'Old Central'. This is not only a feast for the eyes, but also a journey through time and history. This meticulously compiled photography book contains over a hundred precious historical photos, taking you back to Hong Kong's Central district in the early 20th century, and witnessing the golden age of this city as a cultural melting pot of East and West.

Through these invaluable images, you will:

* Stroll through the Victorian-style architectural corridors and appreciate the colonial-era aesthetics

* Wander between the bustling street markets and the tranquil waterfront, experiencing the rhythm of old Hong Kong's daily life

* Witness the flow of time on the tram tracks and reminisce about every pivotal moment in the city's development

This book pays special tribute to Hong Kong's renowned postcard collector, Mr. Cheung Shun-kwong. For over three decades, his passion and dedication to the historical artifacts of Hong Kong have not only promoted the development of the collection culture but also preserved precious memories for the city. Today, the retired Mr. Cheung remains committed to researching tram artifacts, and his spirit is admirable.

Let's bear witness to the fusion of history and art and relish the timeless charm of Old Central!
