Summary

Description

Entitled: Canton, China [c1880] RH Brown [RESTORED] I retouched out a lot of emulsion cracks that were scanned into the original image, as well as an embossed notice on the bottom edge of the print. luckily, it serendipitously happened to be on the reflective surface of the water, where a little bit of softness blended well and didn't matter as much visually. Contrast and tonal adjustments, along with a final sepia.

The original image is hoarded by the Royal Geographical Society in the UK, where they claim copyright on something that is more than 120 years old, LOL...

At any rate, this image reveals more of the extensive canal system in old Canton (Guangzhou) that, though not as pervasive as those in Soochow (modern day Suzhou), were plentiful and historic in their own right. Seen in the center background is the top of a monolithic stone fortress like building, the signature outline of the old Cantonese pawn shop.
