Gezicht op de racebaan van Hongkong 1863 - 1900

This 19th-century photograph, "Gezicht op de racebaan van Hongkong," by Wilhelm Burger, captures a panoramic view of the racecourse in Hong Kong. The image showcases the racetrack nestled between rolling hills, with trees lining the foreground. The photo is a testament to the development of Hong Kong's urban landscape, particularly its sporting infrastructure, during the late 19th century. The detail of the racetrack itself and the surrounding natural scenery, makes this an excellent example of early photographic documentation of Hong Kong.
